MORALITY II

1. What is morality?

Morality is not a set of restrictive codes that is meant to use as a social control, or a set of selective standards that would breach our own autonomy, freedom and individuality as a person. Morality is a form of a SOCIAL CONTRACT as to how to respect each other who equally possess the same dignity and freedom as a human being. It is a UNIVERSAL TREATY which appeases our conflicting ideas and desires so that everyone would not undergo suffering and exploitation. It is a COMMUNAL CONSENSUS on how to leave in peace, order and harmony as one society.

2. Why should we all be MORAL?

We all have our different desires and wills of our own. However, one's own will differs from the other; one's own desire differs from the other, that may lead to a further conflict. HUMAN COMMUNITY IS CHAOTIC IF IT IS LEFT AS IT IS, but we all desire to live in harmony peace and free of pain. For that reasons, societies, cultures, and religions constructed this kind of consensus so that we can live our lives without compromising the right of others.

We may all desire to live our lives according to our own dispositions, but unfortunately, WE ARE NOT LIVING ALONE. You are living with other people in the same space, and those people also have their own right, dignity, freedom and autonomy as you are. A thing that you should ave to compromise with. Like you, they also want freedom an not be controlled by others; like you, they also have the same dignity; like you, they also have their own sentient and rational capacity; like you, they also detest to undergo suffering, pain and exploitation, and like you, they also want to live in peace. This is the reason why RECIPROCITY has been a universal more, i.e. Do unto others what you want others do unto you, or do not do unto others what you don't want others do unto you. We all have the same goal, the same dignity, the same capacity, that is why we RESPECT is an imperative.
