so what is moral?

[welsh trip head]

i have always tried to be a good person, in every moment.... but the deeper i go into hyperspace, the more i see everything is one. no such thing as duality.... this unconditional love that imbraces all... so what is the point in been moral in this life? if in the end i am gona get vacumed up into the abiss? of every thing and i don't exist after? ... hmm

Doesn't being a moral person benefit your current existance? Doesn't it make you feel good to do the 'right' thing?

I believe we get back what we put out. You reap what you sow. Simple karmic law. That's reason enough for me.

If it gives you courage enough to keep getting out of bed in the morning to continue on living, what does it matter? Hang onto how it makes you feel. We can think of foods and taste them, why not try to think of an emotion to feel it?

I think 'morality' is a concept which has varied at different times and places but a sane and rational person who has not been dealt a 'bad hand' in life understands what the gist of morality is.I wonder, should a person who is not governed by the strictures that 'morality' implies and is conscious of their 'divergence' from these defining characteristics would experience this appreciation of oneness in as pleasing or unsettling a fashion under psychedelics as one imbued with 'morality'?

I think the Cosmic Oneness is appreciative of morality but recognises its opposite as it is manifest by us foibled creatures and in the final analysis we will become re-evaluated on the basis of the tussle between these two integral aspects that we all possess.From morality stems righteous conduct and this has many facets.

I like this quote from f. nietzsche :

“There are no moral phenomena, only a moral interpretation of phenomena”

what culture defines as leading a good life.

There can be no (intelligent) live without morality. Every living being percieves the truth of his life in such a way that a form of morality is a nessecary consequence of it. Morality is an automatic consequence of counsciousness.
Morality is real, but at the same time it can never be fully be defined in a way that totally encompasses it.

I think that every action is an expression of some morality, and part of becoming whole is looking at what our true morality is and what we want to make it.

I always thought the golden rule was a good way to understand morality.

I always thought the golden rule was a good way to understand morality.

It is a form of morality, but it doesn't say anything about morality, why it matters and certainly not about the objective or subjective status of morality.

It says a lot about morality. Do not do it if you do not want it done to yourself. Pretty good way to morally live your live.
It says more than you think. You just need to think differently.
