|    More about individual morality and moral    |
|    31 May 20 11:46:33    |
      From: d@d.d              Hello...                     More about individual morality and morality..              I think i have to define more individual morality since i am       using it in my thoughts below:              What is individual morality?              It is the interpretation by the individual of what constitutes right and       wrong.              Now, if one wants to exist within a society, a societal contract may       need to be placed upon the individual.              Generally this means don’t break laws and try not to screw people over.                     The very important question is to ask the question of:              Is today morality decency ?              I think we have also to know how to guide our humanity towards a much       better future, so you are noticing that this requires also knowing how       to be the necessary "tolerance" and the necessary "patience", because       you have to think twice before causing too much harm to our humanity by       being destructive wars.              Read my previous thoughts to understand:                     More political philosophy about morality..              Hope that you will read below my thoughts to understand better,       so you will understand from my thoughts that there is something       happening, it is that morality can not exist if it is extremism that       neglect helping others or neglect helping the weakest members       of the society or the humanity, because the good and bad is not only       determined by the context of reality, but by the fact that perfections       of helping the others or helping the weakest members of the society have       weights of importance independently of democracy or the context of the       reality external to humans, and we have not to neglect those weights of       importance or morality will cease to exist if it is only extremism,       since morality has to be "reason" that survive, so if it is extremism ,       so it will become craziness for reason, and this craziness of morality       is determined by the level of decency of morality, and if it is       extremism it is not reasonable, so it is not reason.              More political philosophy about flexibility and relativism..              I said the following:              "I think that relativism is an interesting subject in political       philosophy, because the act of being relativism also dictates       to seek for the truth, and does the truth exist or even the truth is       relative ? i think the extremist view of relativism that says that there       are no absolute truths is not correct thinking, because i think that we       can prove that there is absolute truth of this or that, but what is also       related to relativism is that it encourages us to think correctly in a       holistic manner or in a globalized manner or in an objective manner to       avoid incorrect thinking. And this is related to my following thoughts       about exponential progress where i am also showing how to think it       objectively."              I am a white arab , and i think i am more smart, and frankly i       do consider the act of doing political philosophy as a noble act of       thinking, political philosophy is so important and you have to       give it a rightful consideration. So now i will go much       further in political philosophy about relativism, because       i think that relativism brings the necessary "flexibility"       for our survival as a humanity, because relativism also encourages       us to find the truth by proving it, and since it encourages us to find       the truth , so it encourages us to be a globalized thinking that brings       the necessary objectivity and flexibility, so now you are noticing that       it is related to the essence of morality and the essence of humans, this       is what makes it so important, so now you are noticing that we have       first to know more about the essence of morality of humans and the       essence of humans that bring the necessary flexibility as a requirement       for our own survival as a humanity, so as you will notice that it       is inherent to morality that it has the tendency to avoid extremism,       but how can i say such thing? because we have to contextualize       human morality and to contextualize human morality is to know also that       morality is not individual morality, so the context is also a social       contract that also dictates that morality exists only if the context       permits it to exist, so then you are noticing that the context that       permits morality to exist also permits morality to have the tendency to       avoid extremism, so then you are noticing that we have to be careful by       being sophistication that permits us to be a decent civilization, so       then morality comes with the right flexibility that permits it to avoid       extremism, and this flexibility is like a decentralization of power from       perfection of pure performance towards perfection that helps the others       or help the weakest members of the society or humanity, and here is my       following thoughts that talks about what is morality:                     And what do i mean by morality is perfection at best ?              I said before the following:              "Because morality exists because we have to avoid the bad       And we have to avoid the bad by also trying to maximize at best the good       And trying to maximize at best the good is also called: perfection at best       So morality is pushed towards absolute perfection       So that to be able to solve all our problems       And be absolute happiness that is the goal       But morality of today must at least be a decent morality       To avoid desorder and violence inside the system"                     So as you are noticing that even if morality is a system of values and       principles of conduct, we can ask what is the characteristics of this       system of values and principles of conduct? and we can notice that the       most important thing is not the writing of this system of values and       principles of conduct, but it is the characteristic of the writing of       this system of values and principles of conduct that is to perfect at       best, and since morality in the dictionary is also a Virtuous conduct,       so i think my definition of morality that it is perfection at best is       logical.              Here is the definition of morality in the dictionary, look at it and you       will notice that it also means Virtuous conduct:              https://www.thefreedictionary.com/morality                     And read more here in the Business dictionary:              http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/morality.html              It says also that morality is:              "Conformance to a recognized code, doctrine, or system of rules of what       is right or wrong and to behave accordingly."              So as you are noticing that morality is also to "behave" accordingly to       the system of rules, so i think my definition of morality that it is       perfection at best is logical.                     More about compassion in political philosophy..              And what about compassion in political philosophy ?                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
