Social Philosophy

What is the most attractive justification for value-promoting public morality?

This week's paper is seriously hard. It's not that I can't understand the subject matter, I just have no idea how to express my feelings on it in the form of a paper. The way I feel is that I have an extremely long and tedious math problem that can only be solved in my head. No visual place markers; no help from the physical world. All I can do is put all the pieces together and hope they come out in the most simplified form.
The problem is the one I've always had; which of course, is my almost overwhelming impatience. It is probably one of my biggest bars to relaxation and lasting satisfaction. I'm not really ambitious. Just impatient to be at the end. To finish something before I give it up for something else. To finish something before I stop caring. To leave before things have a chance to really fall apart; or to really work. Gahhhh
