In the end, the trickster gives people what they really want, some sort of freedom  (Taboos Quotes) Money and sex are forces too unruly for our reason; they can only be controlled by taboos which we tamper with at our peril  (Taboos Quotes) Rather than bring the full force of our creativity and rationality to bear on the problems of ethics, social cohesion, and even spiritual experience, moderates merely ask that we relax our standard of adherence to ancient superstitions and taboos, while otherwise maintaining a belief system that was passed down to us from men and women whose lives were simply ravaged by their basic ignorance about the world  (Taboos Quotes) The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality.
