In recent years, I've been really confused about the definitions that exists for many things in our lives, especially the definitions for good and bad.
I believe the day when we really can discern between good and bad, could possibly be the day when we can boast on the far reaches of our civilization as a 'sapient' species, until then our 'mental evolution' is never more than a far cry.
Thefreedictionary.com defines morality as follows,
In the above definitions what does the words good conduct/wrong conduct refer to? A category of mere actions? or an allegory of assumptions and possibilities, defined by law & order system? If so, we know that none beyond the human kind, could've defined the structures and strata of the law-order paradigm.
Now here is the problem, which I've decided to call as the 'morality problem'. Through this problem, I believe the people who are bestowed with strong morals are least pushed to the point of desperation where their morals collapse into ashes and they are left without anything but a sense of savagery. The lives of these civilized silver spoon diners may have been filled with profound despair of sorts, but never can it be leveled with lives of those who live in a little place called 'Earth' and fight everyday for just enough food to keep their heart pumping and lungs breathing.
I can't be a savior who can erase the differences between people, but i'm just trying to imply that its just a thin line of flesh and blood between what comes out as words/actions/expressions and what exists within. If the morality 'codes' of everyone of us, in the world, are exposed, then we all will realize that no matter how different we are, at any point in time, almost all of us exists with similar levels of adherence towards the instinctive patterns engineered by nature, ever since we are around here.
So why all these self-righteous squeals when everything is already made loud and clear?
