Good point, but I would emend to say a large part, that part desperately
proclaiming significance in a high, empty shriek.

Jeff Myers suggests that

>"moral indignation."
It strikes me that a much larger part of our culture is based on
self-righteousness. It may look rather similar to moral indignation,
but is based much more on a sense of one's own worthiness than on
concern for another.
