Morals

YEAP, i wanted to write this since ages ago. Something happened then that inspired me.

Lets talk about morals.

Education taught us very well about that. What are the things that we should and should not do.

Lets take an example. Shop Lifting. Is it bad? Yes, but may be not. Is it a disgrace to steal? If yes...

Why do people watch pirated movies, buy pirated Cds, use pirated Windows...are these things bad? But why is everyone doing it like nobody business? Its a huge question mark ya!

Is it the shop owner's fault because they didn't take enough precautions?

Like we learn in economics. If there is no demand there will have no supply. If there have no supply they will not have demand. Should we now blame the consumer or supplier.

The shop lifter is grabbing oppurtunity or the shop owner is giving oppurtunity?

Consumer blames supplier, and supplier blames consumer...

Who are to blame?

If the shop owner take enough precautions, i believe the shop lifter wouldn't have chance to shop lift, or they would not risk themself in such a trouble.

I personally blame it on shop owner, for those owners that did not take enough precautions, when they found out their things got loss, I think, SERVE THEM RIGHT.

Back to moral. They say, cheating is bad. But can you point me anyone who never cheated in exAMS? Anyone never cheat before?? @@ BIG IMPOSSIBLE!

More morals. Who never thought of bribing a police when they got caught? Is that something very wrong that should felt disgrace about? I don think so.

So now, even the police, people who are supposed to be highly looked upon, they accept bribe, or ministers, they accept bribe, can somebody tell me now, what is the big deals doing kitten-like-cheating in exam or shop lifting?

SOmehow, I think all these mindset is wrong to the max. But its so logic that i don't manage to convince myself that i should not think this way. Can somebody convince me? Please do...

somehow rather, sometimes, there's a "gap" between supply and demand; and the ever-creativity leads to "innovations" so who to blame??

Kami anti-rasuah, so who to blame?

Ai, chicken and egg story, don't worry be happy!

Moral call this situation Eksistentialisme - go check ur moral notes if u hav, making decision based on situation, there is no such things as good or bad, or right or wrong, but cause and effect.. that is y we learn moral. u'll be amazed..or we evaluate things based on utilitarianisme, based on majority wins, here as long as actions is beneficial to majority it's a plausible action. bomb hiroshima n nagasaki(kill thousands of innocent ppl) to save millions of lives by ending the war, this is proper in utilitarianisme, moral nvr teaches us what to do what not to do, moral teaches us how to evaluate circumstances and then initiate the proper actions..
