First of all, it's a great delight to see you on my post @erh.germany. 🤗 Your contribution always gives me some flavoursome food for thought.
While I get your point on having a clear answer in Aye or Nay, on the basis of ground principles, I am wondeing how are we to unite everyone to have the same principle. Something that I decide to be right on the basis of my principle might be totally wrong according to the principle the other person holds.
the wrongness of you killing another human being, stands firm in principle.
Right. Killing is a wrong act according to the principle. However, I am thinking what would the principle be about being killed?
For instance, the principle says protect yourself and don't get killed. Now, when taking steps in my protection I kill the other person, should the act of killing be considered equally wrong? Or should fall somewhere on the lower side of wrongness continuum, if not considered right.
Everyone has justification for one's actions.
So far as the hypocrisy in the world is concerned. It is everywhere. Everyone is trying to protect their interests by implementing their own right and wrong.
We see that by eliminating free speech and make it a crime to speak out, that our clean records won't be clean anymore.
Agreed 💯
Today's world is a place where there is ambiguity about principles. Nothing is clear, everything is clouded by ideaologies of feeling.
Putting the Divine guidelines aside, there is a total emphasis on feeling. If we observe we realize, the thing that we have given the status of god is our Feelings.
Things that one's regarded as delusions or psychopathologies are now being advocated as a right of individual. All based on the feeling. The time is not really far when there will be no issue in saying I feel like a zebra today, let me make a zebra. And a surgeon will be there to turn me into one.
Decisions, actions and judgements based on our feelings are inevitably going to bring devastation in the world.
Thank you once again for your contribution. 💖💖💖
