How do you decide what is moral and what is not?

by | May 2, 2020 | 0 comments

“Humankind must acknowledge thHumans create morality.  We also create good and evil.  We are the only species capable of inflicting harm upon others on purpose.  Even a lion who kills a lioness’ cubs to mate with her does so out of instinct.  We can commit mass atrocities for all sorts of non-essential reasons.  Thus, to limit our destruction, we must impose morals (our laws and rules of society).  The morals that exist in society today are our best attempt at limiting the suffering we cause and maximizing the benefit.”
