to philosophise is to speculate or theorise...?
So ethics deals with good and bad, right and wrong and moulds our personal world through the choices we make.
Are we less moral when dabbling in the grey areas that clearly do not fit in the "right" box but, may not necessarily be bad?
And then choosing that which may be bad but, one can get away with ?
Do cultural and religious influences play a role in the choices we make?
Would we be more lost if we dabbled in all presented and tempting at any point in time, without a care or consideration of the repercussion or ripple effect of our choices made?
When one is aware that a choice made may have a negative effect on others and oneself, then we tend to put contingency plans into place to minimise the risk of being found out.
Excuses.
Lies.
Deceit.
A vicious circle.
A guilty conscience sometimes played out in a scenario where an innocent party is used as a scapegoat, a punching bag, the recipient of verbal abuse and false accusations.
Religion pits human against human. Politics plays its dirty agenda through mass propaganda.
Humans lap it up. Thirsty for something to believe in. Be led. Be told.
Aligning themselves to that which they deem fit.
The "Garden of Eden" had to fall.
Did it ever exist? Or is it the ultimate realisation that we humans crave for, yet will never reach? Craving and destroying all in ones way in search of it?
Are Saints a myth? Or born to be stoned by those suffering from a guilty conscience...
We just do not know how.
