To start i found a great video explaining views on being amoral
My journey into leaning towards becoming amoral started ~4 years ago. It has really taken a lot of time to mull over!!
I will try to keep this short and succinct.
At a point where i would say i would of said i was a 'good' person. I was overly eager to make others happy and make a change in peoples life.
I was asked "what's the difference between good and evil?" - i could not answer in a neat way.
I knew deep down that the answer was 'perception' or better yet, there is no difference between good and evil.
I was at a point in my life were i was trying to process a major part of my life. Every single person in my life had lied to me, many people had betrayed my trust. A huge amount of people had worked against my privacy, life quality and freedom. This whole saga is hard to explain. To put it simply a lot of people had done a lot of 'bad' things to me.
It took a lot of time to dig deep and feel that, yes a lot of people went against me and in a moralistic point of view they have done 'bad' a lot of them 'evil' in persona.
In a amoral view i can say, yes, these people did effect me but i am going to not label them bad or good.
I am going to realize how i can move foreward in the best effective way for myself. To me, holding these people up to a moralistic standard of my own creating weighed me down.
Anybody else have stories?
