What Is Morality?

[ihaveanappforthat]

Morality. Must the ends of something justify the means? Is it morally acceptable to kill one to save many? Is killing wrong regardless of the outcome?

The line between right and wrong can be muddied rather easily.

All this talk about book privileges is boring, let's talk about something interesting.

What do you think about those that lack all morality?

[marshall_lee]

I think they've probably had a hard life full of decisions that ultimately lead them to that belief.

[ihaveanappforthat]

Interesting.

[marshall_lee]

To elaborate a little...I think everyone starts life with a little hope. Hope is the thing that keeps most people going.
Once you lose any sense of hope you can lose all senses of morality.

[ihaveanappforthat]

You don't think there are lives that start out with no hope?

[marshall_lee]

I don't. Everyone strives for something and that in itself is a form of hope. If you had nothing to strive for why would you even bother continue living?

[ihaveanappforthat]

So you think those who have no hope should kill themselves?

[marshall_lee]

No, they should seek to have something to hope for. Everyone can find a purpose..it's just a matter of discovering what it might be.
