A person's moral sense of right and wrong, viewed as acting as a guide to one's behaviour. Oxford Dictionary
A good society is made of good individuals.
An emphasis on virtue would seem to be the answer.
No philosopher is an individual, and no artists or politician - profoundly creative people have their soul intertwined with the peoples of the Earth.
professor satyr wrote:For the Left, in the west, all issues are about morality, and by 'morality' they mean the one and only kind: Abrahamic ethical codes. Universal morality, written on stone tablet delivered to us by a one, supreme God.
They don't give a shit about reason, logic, objectivity, what they care about is morality and how it affects them emotionally.
professor satyr wrote:The decline of Judeo-Christian religion, and the discovery that Marxism was a pile of crap, only leaves them in a confused state, desperately looking for 'good south' to set their moral campus to.
But morality isn't what they think it is, it isn't the naive, self-serving, infantile bullshit they were raised on and just can't let go of, so many of these desperate degenerates fall into a deep psychosis, an immoral abyss, and some take their own lives – if we're lucky, while most, because they are also cowards unable to live by their own principles, decide that they ought to dedicate their lives to making the world commit-mass-suicide.
If morality is not a universal absolute 'truth' then it is a worthless nothing.
They cannot tolerate ambiguity, shades of greys. They need black/white kid-stuff, because no matter how old they are, or how 'mature' and cultivated they think they are, they remain the same frightened child that sought in Abrahamism and Marxism a daddy and momma that would not die and leave them to fend for themselves in an indifferent world.
