When we addressed on “what is good and bad”, the question immediately
surfaced in our mind is what morality is about. In the past, we find philosophers
have expounded on the topic of morality in volumes, each one differing from
others in the treatment of the subject in a certain way as civilization passed
through time from earliest time until today.
Briefly, to say, it advises man to refrain from the act that could upset
social equilibrium. It helps him to reach perfection and attain his ideal. While
morality tells what the right principles of human conduct (the rectitude)
should be, it tells not what to do when such principles are broken. In highest moral
circumstances, “I” exits his seat and “Thou” enters and occupy the seat, and
this circumstance takes birth from extreme self-abnegation. Man, then, will
give up the tendency to accumulate everything towards his centre.
Although the definition the morality is found to vary across nations,
circumstances, customs of certain race, and religion, the modern man knows
there exists today a universal standard leaving aside those variants. Sadly, it is the both judiciary and cops who struggle to keep us moral. Hence, the
elaboration of this definition falls outside the scope of this blog.
