Being Nice

[Pillz]

I could care less about ethics and morals and shit.

Not sure if I'm taking this out of context, but I'm starting to feel you here more and more. As much as I feel like there IS a wrong way to do things, and that a lot of people adhere to that wrong way, and that I have an obligation to say something about it, my care-o-meter is beginning to run out of steam. Ultimately everything bullshit anyway.

Then I remember that that's what everyone starts to think as they exit adolescence and hit adulthood, and I stick my thumb up my bum and hesitate.

It's not that I don't care about morals at all, I just don't believe I'm nice due to them. It's more like, I just don't think about it like that perhaps. I'm sure if I sat here and thought about it I could find that exact moral-set I follow and how it affects my decisions and life and etc. I don't sit there and think "is this the right thing to do?" and shit like that, I mean in tons of situations I do, but when it comes down to just "being nice". .. . lol

Dude I'm so high right now, this window's been open forever, I'm just gonna go sit down.. I'm just going to take this time to... enlighten you. Nope never mind. But uh, I'm really happy right now. Like, honestly I love you Crypto. You're such an amazing person. I would hang a picture on my wall but I feel like that crosses some kind of line.


Not really, but yeah. I love everyone right now.

Fucking Potheads...xD

Pillz, with all due respect, your set of morals absolutely determine the way you act. They are your written or unwritten, your expressed or not expressed way of living. You are your morals.

Or maybe my morals are me. Anyway I always thought morals more like, thinking about people first, kind of like bible oriented generalized common knowledge rules. Like you don't yell at people, you don't steal, you don't look at child porn, you don't get turned on by girls crying in pain, etc. I hear people refer to their morals as something they have. I suppose that's wrong, but if my morals are, me, then... uh.

Make everyone happy?

The set of morals that the Bible sets forth is THE BIBLE'S set of morals. A rather destructive one, as a matter of fact, based greatly on altruism. But its only ONE set of morals. The world is filled with them.

I quote for Wikipedia the definition of morality. Not the best, but it should do:
"Morality (from the Latin moralitas "manner, character, proper behavior") is a sense of behavioral conduct that differentiates intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are good (or right) and bad (or wrong). A moral code is a system of morality (for example, according to a particular philosophy, religion, culture, etc.) and a moral is any one practice or teaching within a moral code. Immorality is the active opposition to morality, while amorality is variously defined as an unawareness of, indifference toward, or disbelief in any set of moral standards or principles"

"I always thought of morality as thinking of people first..."

That is, almost in essence, what altruism is all about.

So then I have good high morals for some things, but at the same time I don't? Then I just feel like.. oh fuck it, im going to have.. amorality or whatever. lol

Altruism is a myth.

Altruism is a myth.

It is a hyperbole all on its own.
