The text reflects on the view of morality, according to which its central elements are rules that make a society efficient, bringing the greatest benefit. I show that rules represent a part of our “circumstantial luck,” and that their particularity often makes life more difficult. As we tend to internalise rules and interpret spontaneously the situations of our lives in their terms, we may be, in the cases of unfeasible rules, prone to view ourselves as failure. Generally, rule-like statements (including moral rules) more naturally serve as tools for reflection on our past (failures) than as guidelines for the future. The presence of rules in our lives thus calls for compassion towards those who have failed in terms of the rules that they acknowledge.

规则的道德运气

文本反映了道德观，根据该观，其核心要素是使社会有效率并带来最大利益的规则。我展示了规则代表了我们“偶然运气”的一部分，并且它们的特殊性常常使生活变得更加困难。由于我们倾向于内化规则并用它们的术语自发地解释我们的生活情况，因此在规则不可行的情况下，我们可能倾向于将自己视为失败者。一般来说，类似规则的陈述（包括道德规则）更自然地成为反思我们过去（失败）的工具，而不是未来的指导方针。因此，我们生活中规则的存在要求对那些在他们承认的规则方面失败的人表示同情。
