That's why i say moral is not a standard, it's just a concept.
You can say a certain action is 'immoral', but you have to realize it's not that the action didn't abide the moral standard. It's just that for you, it's immoral. A mere opinion and you founded it based on the concept of moral. Someone else can disagree with you.
if you say a big group of people thinks a certain action is moral/immoral, then that's just culture.
but all in all, moral is just a concept, which really are opinions formulated by 1 or more people for a certain timeframe. These opinion can change through time, from person to person or culture to culture. There's no standard.
Rather than figuring out how to criticize other people, might as well sit in someone else's shoe and learn from it. And if one do feel itchy criticising another person, try to realize that it's one's own opinion, instead of holding 'moral' as the big flag and become ignorant.
Just what I think moral is. I better check wiki and see how the consesus defines it LOL |
