MORALITY


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.

The man, who had been both pure and moral, had better control over himself and became legends of time. History remembers them for the good done to humanity. Civilization and intelligence began to grow rapidly from the moment earliest human began to set code of ethics and principles of morality, and this is a known fact.
