Morals; I have morals, you have morals, they have morals.In fact every living human being lives their life based upon their own moral code. Or do they? Its ethical in the wellbeing of a society that one follows a set of whats widely considered and accpted as 'good morals'. Its depending on our interpretation based upon our individual experiences in life, where we live, how we live, our background, our faith or lack thereof, the way we were brought up, our perception of normality, our maturity, our age and many other factors which leads to different ways of thinking between people. Thus morality is not universally abseloute and most morals are relativistic in life. Morals are more or less laws and expectations in what we consider normality, and thats all fine and dandy as long as it doesnt impact on others. Despite individualistic differences in morality we tend to follow the 'norm' and live by the widely accepted morals of our society, be it a small village or entire nation. We follow our ethical responsibility in adhering to that moral code, despite our personal moral differentiations. In doing so we abide by the wider societies idea of good morality. We get made to believe that despite our thaughts, feelings and our personal moral code, we are inferior and insignificant to the convential and widely accepted moral code, the law. But despite the few universally accepted morals such as the immorality of murder, assault, theft, rape, pedophilia, incest and recklessness the limitations of universally 'good morals', in my opinion, reaches its zenith. All the other facets of life thereon are confined to the individual, be it how we relate to people or dress. The fact of the matter is that we still get made or expected to conform, to mould to the 'societies' moral code even despite outdated morals which have no relation to how we feel, what we think, value, uphold and consider 'moral'. If we dont conform we are frowned upon. Fingers get pointed at us, we become the butt of the joke. This folks is the outdated and overextended influence of universally accepted 'moral code', and a backward mentality of a bygone era.Thus this leads to cruelty, persecution, dissent and ridecule of a group of people whether its based upon race, sexuality, religion, social class, individualism, lifestyle, political affiliation and opinion etc.
There is nothing 'moral', kind or altruistic about a mindlessly accepted and forcibly enforced/ expected 'moral code'. We as freethinking people understand that full well. Im all for law but law in itself is limited. A point comes when freedom becomes vital and the individualist approach is both wanted and needed. Thats why i encourage everyone to live their lives based upon their own moral code. Because your moral code is moulded to your life, to your identity. Your identity should never mould to anothers moral, unless its something you value yourself based upon your ethics. Universal morality or religious morality more to the point, by its very nature supports repression, conformity, exclusion, its a control mechanism to enforce conformity. Its a curruption of unity and a means to turn people against each other, or to look down upon people because of petty differences! Morality is a matter of relitivity! We are the decider of whats moral and whats not based upon our own individual lives.Dont ever forget that!
