Morality

I do agree, Friend.

Thank you Chyna, for stopping by...and another thanks for the RL...have a great day. Ely

You have a one also.

Trading one corruption for another, that's what I've seen. I was just venting about this the other day.

Well said, MizWillow...good on you...got to
get that stuff out of our systems...or it will rot us from the inside out.
Hang in there, lady...we will prevail...eventually... can't live without hope...hugs, Ely

Agreed, and very well put  -  and it is so because 'ends' and 'means' are One-Thing. ("A violent war begets a violent peace" as Ghandi is reputed to have said). 'Ends' have the same characteristics as the 'means' used to get there {  end of lecture   :))   }

Any particular C.S Lewis book you were thinking of?

Last thing I read of his was The Screwtape Letters... there's a sense of humor in there, though I find him just a bit oversure of his Christianity...at least from my jaded point of view.
I think we all are possessed of a Spirit... animal, vegetable, mineral...as are you and me... Thanks very much for your comment
and the visit...hugs, Ely

Interesting - I read The Screwtape Letters 40 years ago, and had another delve more recently but found the same as you - 'oversure' - and also that christianity is a punishment-based religion, despite all the well-known talk of atonement, etc - it's still the condemnation that is a-priori. One reason why I left it all behind.

There's none, ever
I'm fully with you on this one

I love the poem Ely. Of course as a moral relativist I know of no "absolute moral values"...all values are subjective and always built around power and fear...pleasure and pain. As both Nietzsche and Zhuangzi pointed out...truth, like morality, are relative affairs, there are no facts merely interpretations. When I tell people that I am a moral relativist...an amoralist...they always ask where do my values come from...balance and harmony...I help others because it brings me peace and inner joy...what the Dalai Llama meant when he recommended we be a little selfish in a spiritual kind of way lol.
Cheers...Harry  

A wise man, the Dalai Llama...we are fortunate indeed to be able to grow by his wisdom...
Thanks for stopping in Harry...always good to see you...hugs, Ely
