Full Idea
Owing to the complication of human relations, the problem of what one ought to do from the point of view of life as a whole is one of intense difficulty.
Gist of Idea
The complexities of life make it almost impossible to assess morality from a universal viewpoint

A Reaction
I suspect that the difficulty is not the problems engendered by complexity, but that there is no answer available from the most objective point of view. Morality simply is a matter of how daily life is conducted, with medium-term goals only.
