Nothing my eye, Something for sure
If a person thinks long and hard on their entire own will they eventually come to truthes that are self evident?
Or perhaps whatever is true is relative to the person and their situation. In which case anything goes and the ends justify the means.
My conviction is that moral truthes are self evident. Virtues are self evident. And what is vice becomes apparent.
My conviction is that people have the capacity to become certain attributes of character of their own choosing.
People fall into all kinds of trouble because of boredom and danger, risk and rewards, temptation and ignorance, greed and carelessness, lack of sufficient resources and desparation, false pride and hatred.
Everybody needs a clean place and space of their own. An environment they can organize and control. Relationships that would benefit their causes of survival and prosperity.
Everything of civilization depends on trust, and trustworthiness. If we are not consistent in our attitudes, values, behaviours, sincerity towards others, and persistence in what is good things will fall apart. And its all about doing right things even when you are the only one doing them.
So live or die many people have the deepest commitment to right doing even in the face of total chaos and anarchy. Because in right doing there is fulfillment, and quality of life.
But its more than the self reasons that people do right things, its love of others and self.
So i see two divergent paths in life, a right way and a wrong way.
