I think that philosophy and ethics are a matter of our children's survival. Silliness and weakness make us vulnerable in front of our enemies and it should be fought with.
Of course, the human mind itself is able to create its own morality and can program its reactions, however, universal moral values allow a person to achieve unity with other people, thus increasing its strength and security. Belonging to the universe inspires one's faith.
The moral subject tries to follow his self-established principles. And if he is also intelligent, in order to achieve unity with other moral people, he tries to bring his principles in accordance with universal moral principles. Universal principles to believe in, while actually invented the principles may be false.
The meaning of universal morality is that birds of the same plumage stick together. You can create your own moral principles, but then you risk being left alone, which will weaken you.
A strong-willed morally upstanding person doesn't wish to be in power or in control. Such a person may be in control and obey someone only because it's necessary and may rule only because there's no other way to be.
And what is morality and morality but habit and custom? They're used to doing that, and if they don't, their conscience will torture them. What can I advise them? Think of another habit.
Principles are the basis of rational man, while animals are the slaves of instincts. Education, morals, and principles are the three cornerstones of self-respect. Indulging in animal sins and vices, a person loses self-respect and with it the strength of the spirit.
There are many mistakes done in life due to the spirit of contradiction...
Because parents are against… Because someone said or did something... Colleagues, friends, parents, social morality and rules... It all affects one badly making one do many things another way round.
Power is a disease that turns one into a pig. And it's only an inner moral backbone that can prevent one from being a pig.
The thing is that power has several synonyms: Money is a synonym for power. Beauty and perfection are synonyms for power. Intellect is a synonym for power. Strength is a synonym for power.
Power without ethics and moral codes to control it, gets quickly covered with a mould of pride, rudeness, hatred towards others and any other deadly sins.
Women commit considerably fewer crimes than men do. And it certainly makes them more morally upstanding. What makes them amoral is the fact that the reasons of most male crimes are usually women.
Before letting someone gain power, this someone should be given nobleness, morality and ethics. Someone who has been given power but has lacked nobleness, turns into a pig who brings harm to things around.
The society should control the power so that it would only go to noble and virtuous people.
- Perhaps, that's why hypocrisy has long become the synonym for power and wealth... Monsters don't want us to see their real faces.
A person that has been raised to be liked by society. A straitlaced person. The society will accept you and love you. We will take you by the hands and make you our friend equal to us. We will support and protect you and will break bread with you.
But sometimes parents who are either full of stupidity or full of slyness, or even laziness… as they don't raised their children to be liked by society. They don't see what to do it for.
- The society rejects ill-mannered people. If you're NOT well-mannered for the society, you'll be a social outcast. And everyone will hate you. Everyone will beat you but no one will lend you a hand or deal with you.
Movies and literature popularize the idea that one should break laws of ethics and moral codes in order to become successful and wealthy. It's a big lie and the most wrong way of seeing things. As everything happens another way.
At first, a right strong person gains power and wealth and only after that this person's sins start to recur chronically. A person who is weak in spirit will never climb up to the height of power or wealth. Unless someone helps this person or this person has nice connections. But it's only someone decent and noble who can gain everything all by oneself.
Machine life and people-machines, living in it as robots. An immoral robot - I knew one. They forgot to program him for high moral standards. Not that he suffered much, but still.
The love for the rumours as well as the belief in people's immorality, is based on the knowledge that it's a great joy to get to know that it's not only you who are so immoral on the inside.
Fear turns people into slaves, but without fear they turn into vicious pigs. Fear kept in chains not only the person, but also all his numerous vices.
Powerlessness generated fear. We gave them power, powerlessness disappeared along with fear. And vanity and greed, specific to everyone, remained. Without the fear`s supervision, vanity grew into the pridefulness monster and everyone is in danger now.
We were wrong. We should have taught them philosophy before giving power. We should have additionally chained sins up by the ethics and morale chains.
If you know too much but don't do a thing. If you know how to do it right but don't do it. Unused knowledge that stay locked in your mind and start to rot.
And it's also a matter of ethics and moral values. As knowing how to do it right but still doing it wrong is a sin. As the providence spent its energy and efforts to give you a lesson but you remain a fool. A bad fool. Pooh pooh
Healthy habits are one of the most precious things that parents can make their children adopt.
Early rising, morning exercising, healthy diet, going in for sport, household chores (putting things in their place), the habit of working, studying, taking care of oneself, dressing neatly, learning philosophy and ethics, the habit of getting things done, the habit of overcoming difficulties, the habit of reading – all simple things that are difficult to do.
Praise and attention are the most important and irreplaceable sources of pleasure in human life. Once you deprive a person of praise and attention from kith and kin, this person will soon become a psycho or a maniac.
Weak links should be duplicated. When everything depends on a single linchpin, this "linchpin" often breaks as it can't bear heavy moral responsibility.
One shouldn't worship aliens. Technologies, that civilization has don't indicate intellect and morality of PARTICULAR humanoids. The fact than humanity builds spaceships doesn’t prevent particular people from bring fools and assholes. Moreover, even wonderful education and encyclopedic knowledge aren’t indicator of smartness. Higher education can't get rid a person from idiocy, it only strengthens it more.
They noticed that the higher the technologic level of a civilization is the dumber i an ordinary person gets. In other words, in case of a visit of aliens of a higher technologic level than ours, one should be ready to the fact that particular alien guests will be disastrously blunt, deceitful and immoral.
In crop production, water and sun are energy, money, love, a breath of freedom, affection and moral support. Manure is a Vice to relieve tension-righteous anger, rest and sleep.
