Of course this can apply to other types as well, but your remarks reminded me of similar recent thoughts, particularly the objectification of ideals as they're reflected in creative works, and how this can point to valued functions.

Huh, interesting.

It does help me to have that structure, yes, though I realize not everyone is the same as me in that regard. Also, too rigid and unadaptable a structure can lead to lots of harm. For me, structured morals need to be constantly (or regularly) aware of reality, what actually happens/ed.
