I'll get right to it. Any who have anything whatsoever to say in response; please feel free.
Surely, if you are here, you are at least familiar with the concept of the conscience. It is fair to say that everyone perceives things at least somewhat differently; that everything is subjective to some extent. Some may base what is good on how they will profit monetarily. Some perhaps, on the exposure or attention they get. Maybe they think what is good is the maintenance of the well-being of those they are emotionally tied to. My point being that in terms of what is morally correct; the conclusion can vary widely from individual to individual. It seems people here may strive to know what is right and good and spiritual. In fact I may very well be preaching to the quire. Hopefully those here know the importance of introspection, retrospect, humility, and self honesty. I would hope that they can at least identify self deception when a light is cast on it; so I will skip going into detail on the conscience in general. The issue (for the select few who actually listen to their conscience on some level it seems) is that even when one attempts to follow the promptings of what is right( the conscience) it can still be distorted by the sense of self(want for self/attainment of some kind), leading to a wholly different conclusion from the next individual.
So how will any real peaceable advancement of the whole of life ever happen at the rate things are going now? Never.
How can we begin to at least agree on what is right morally? How can we know when we choose a thing if it was actually for the benefit of the majority involved or for one's own benefit? How can we know that we are doing what is best in all situations that include others. How can we realize objective morality?
Easy right?
Take the variable (self(attainment)) out of the equation.
Any input is again welcome. I may or may not proceed most likely depending on reception.
Regardless;
Peace sincerely
