My ethical and moral views have a health based foundation.
Any system has an optimal state, or a state which it itself was “meant to be” in.
How good or bad something is depends on its effect upon itself and the organisms/systems around itself.
Is it “good” or “bad” for a being to gain at the loss of another? Let’s apply this question on a wider scale:
An amoral society will naturally form sub-organizations as a self-defencive reaction to the general moral anarchy.
Within the sub-organization morality will be born.
Thus even when morality is non-existent, or if it is destroyed, it will rise again like the pheonix from the ashes, moral out of the amoral.
Amoral societies have allot of senseless competition/agression within themselves. They lack a united direction, as the individual is put above the whole. The ability to defeat or avoid unfamiliar individuals will become a vital survival trait within a moral anarchy. The moral groups or teams will then unite and out-preform the individual. Later groups will compete with other groups, but moral societies will eventually defeat most amoral societies. Am I reminding you of nature on earth? Hopefully yes. Morality is one of the main reasons why humanity is now [arguably]thriving as a civilization.
Those of the greatest virtue maintain the health of the society, and these ones are also worthy of the most power – as they are the ones promoting the most health.
The quality of social morality depends upon how well the individual can deal with the society.
Someone such as a professor – spends much time educating and inhancing the minds of persons within his society.
^ This is an example of virtue. The exact opposite of this [a social sin] – would be the act of misleading and abuse the public [scams are an example]. “Corruption” is any sort of system that works against the health of the society.
Our problem on earth today – is that we are a moral society, struggling against our amoral passed.
I've also come to talk about the existence & evolutionary place of morals within metaphysical societies.
The unusually strict morality that can be found within some religious ideologies -- is often relative to the expected rewards after physical death.
Spirit forms communicate psychically. It's not so easy to lie telepathically. For this reason, corrupt people would naturally not be allowed into spirit societies after the physical death.
Hells are often constructed sorts of spiritual prisons/dungeons.
If a spirit was to enter into a spirit society, then be found "guilty" by the mind-probing justice-systems, even if that spirit is not officially a citizen/member of the society, he or she may actually be punished anyway.
Strict and powerful justice/police systems within a society help that society to stay healthy, but too much power in the hands of government can lead to forms of totalitarianism which deeply exploit the individual.
For this reason, some spirit societies are distopian rubbish which your soul best avoid after physical death.
Semitic spirit societies are a prime example of this.
“Hell” is a place within “heaven”, and there are many heavens.
