It is an outlook
It is an outlook. A way of looking at things. What is this outlook I am talking about? It is the outlook that what is really important is what you yourself are. What other people are is not important. Only what you are is important. What is important is that you do no wrong, that you be clean yourself. That you maintain your integrity in life, that you act right, live right, do right. If other people act wrongly, that is their business. You just make sure that you act right.
This outlook contrasts with the outlook of modern liberalism. Liberals are obsessed with what they regard as the sins of everyone else in society. They themselves are perfect. It is all of these bad, nasty people who are responsible for all of the wrongs in life. The answer is laws. Make lots of laws (e.g. anti-discrimination laws, etc.) and force people to follow them.
One outlook is turned in on yourself. The other is turned outward on other people.
