Epic Beard Man
Bearded Philosopher
True. Ive grown up in mess and was homeless.
Another way to put this is murder is wrong because someone elses life dies at another person hands (the act of killing is wrong) but people do it to survive-self defense, food, etc.
I just dont excuse the imorality of murder in and of itself based on whether it is used to kill or save a baby. A life was taken regardless.
That does not mean we need to treat them all the same. I would never tell someone who murdered to save her child is the same as someone who murdered for self-inflicted non necessary reasons.
The difference is, that doesnt change the nature of murder itself (or thief etc) just how we as a society judge whether what action is right or wrong.
I almost lost my home, didnt have clothes, nor food until the Church helped me out. If I were desprite, of course, food and shelter would be top than philosophizing moralityo f the issue.
My point is, regardless my actions and situation, that doesnt change the nature of the action-which I feel the action is wrong no the intent of going through with it.
I dont see stealing as right based on the situation. I see how it is justified thats moral or immoral; and, I agree with the justication not the action.
Think about it. If stealing wasnt immoral, we would do it without laws inposed on our actions. Since it is immoral by law, we judge the punishment by its intent and justification not the immoral act itself.
Although you know what it’s like to be homeless you can understand the desperation.
