Recovering lost concepts.

Since the rise of christianity western culture has forgotten three vital parts of the past which make Ethical Egoism nearly incomprehensible to the normal person within these societies. The first of these great treasures purposefully neglected was the concept of "Duties to Self". Not just the basics of mere survival but, to love oneself in order that one may be capable of even the smallest bit of actual kindness to another being. The list of these is different by various philosophers from the pre-christian eras however, the one listed makes actual christianity possible. The second concept lost was that forgiveness was not free, one had to earn the way back into the grace of the one they had offended, the confessional gave way to the laziness of letting injustice and churlish behaviour being given a reprieve because of misplaced empathy. With that loss came the increase of reprehensible acts and finger pointing to attempt to justify offending by pointing at the imperfections in the offended which is of course absurd. The third was Conditional Love and the value of it. People who claim to love without conditions are many those who try to practise this nonsense find that there is no standards when evaluating another person. This pseudo-love destroys the natural estimations we make in how a person is to be considered of worth. Conditional Love rests on the premise that virtue must be given it's due in affect and effect of reward while vice cast away from the self and shunned generally. These concepts apply to any morality one may choose to adopt in one's life, quality over quantity in all things friends.
