On some other world, possibly it is different. Better. There are clear good and evil alternatives. Not these obscure admixtures, these blends, with no proper tool by which to untangle the components.
In Philip K. Dick's "The Man in the High Castle," the idea of a world where moral choices are clear-cut is explored. The protagonist reflects on a reality where good and evil are distinctly separated, unlike their own reality, where moral ambiguity reigns. This complexity makes it difficult for individuals to navigate their lives according to a fixed sense of right or wrong.
The quote suggests a longing for a simpler moral landscape, where decisions are straightforward. It implies a frustration with the current state of existence, filled with mixed motives and unclear distinctions between opposing forces. Dick paints a picture of a more idealized world, contrasting it with the psychological and ethical confusion faced by the characters within the narrative.
