RE: Being Individually Moral but Forced to Live Among Collective Immorality
This reminds me of St. Augustine, St. Aquinas, and the Scholastic division of natural, human and divine law, where {legalis} meant something like of or based in or on the law, and the Middle English {lawful} meant recognized or sanctioned by the law.
The distinction between eternal morality and temporal ethics made here by @krnel in the vocabulary "legal" and "lawful," the Ancients made without leaning on the meanings of words. Not even the Scholastics who are famous for that parsed "legal" and "lawful" to distinguish divine and human law.
It is interesting and lamentable that today language is in such a state of neglect and decay that @krnel's definition of "legal" and "lawful" is relevant and serviceable.
Indeed, there are many ways to talk about it using certain words. I use those because they apply well in our modern structuring of society. It may be called "law", but that doesn't mean its actually moral law ;)
Adapting for the times, packaging for the audience ...
