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.

Well killing Voldemort sure was for the benefit of all of us. If someone is being a shitty enough person to cause so much death, I don't see why they shouldn't be taken care of.

What makes someone a shitty person?

[pomodoroo]

Well, there's levels of being a shitty person. Someone who plays really awful tricks on people and isn't sorry for it can fall into that category. But in Voldemort's case he hurt and killed thousands of innocent people. If that doesn't qualify him for being a giant asshole I don't know would.
