Was it Rahab that hid the spies?

And the moral of the story is...

I think in that situation you have something that is needed, but which you can't "moral" simply because it was needed.

(Just to go back to the OP) The beauty of this proverb is that it is very easy to bring to mind, does not burden and focuses on the good.

This reminds me somewhat of Aristotelian virtue ethics, It's about developing a certain way of being in the world through practice, which invariably involves trial, error, and getting it partially right.
I am in moral agreement with you!

Being partially right, is something we can do consciously or unconsciously, in our dreams or while we are awake. As such we are able to be moral "most of the time". In other words, moral morality is possible (this speaks of the truth of the silver line - that this type of morality is called).

If it were possible to call morality "partially right, most of the time" but there was no way to be right for any length of time, morality would be impossible - but that is not how God has created us.

More than moral, is inspirational for a time - but despairing over a correction, wearies the soul (selah)
