Martin Luther King and Natural Law

Our educators and much of society have fallen into a subjectivism, where each culture, each group, each individual is to decide for themselves what they “feel” to be right and what is wrong, and is free to act accordingly. This subjectivism, King’s lessons would teach us, leaves us relatively powerless to fight truly immoral laws. If all is subjective, then no laws are truly unjust.

Boethius on Seeking Pleasure

From one of the poems in Boethius' The Consolation of Philosophy

'All pleasures take this road:

Then, like the bees that swarm,
Having yielded honey's charm,
They flee; but on the heart
A lasting sting impart.'
