Morality is not a virtuous garb
that is adorned only
when convenience permits.
Definitions
Integrity – The capacity to endure difficulty without boasting of or glorifying achievements. See the post, The Structure Of Integrity.
Morality – A personal attribute which incorporates a standard of expression and behaviour by which One endeavours to conduct themself, especially under burdensome conditions. Morality is completely meaningless, if at first sign of adversity it is discarded to the dirt.
Some of these standards of expression and behaviour may include,
- The committed pursuit of Understanding and Knowing Truth.
- Not participating in, promoting or encouraging actions or behaviours which are contrary to healthy, naturally sustainable expressions of Life.
- Not being self-righteous in denying Another’s Sovereignty and Freedom to peaceably live their own life, even if it is contrary to One’s own personal views and standards.
- Not engaging in any malicious manipulation and abuse of Another, with the goal of simply elevating and advancing Oneself or One’s own self interests.
- Not engaging in spiteful retaliation.
- Being willing and prepared to make an unwavering stand against real injustice.
Encompassed in all of this, is the understanding and acceptance that decisions and actions made based on Moral standards, will at times be inconvenient. It may well create difficulty for Oneself and One’s own circumstance.
This is where Morality intertwines with Integrity.
If Morality is abandoned
on the Fear of Suffering,
then One is just a slave
to their Fear of Suffering.
During the course of One’s life, their set of Moral standards may be redefined and refined as life experience, honest evaluation and deeper Self-Awareness deems necessary.
The Source Of Morality
True Morality is not a religious or philosophical contrivance, but a conveyance based on Deep Foundational Self-Awareness.
It is not formulated, manufactured or derived from external sources, but is an Expression of Consciousness manifest through Being.
At the heart of the Genuine, Full Human experience, is a bedrock of True Morality. Those that seek a Genuine, Full Human experience, will naturally be resistive to Immorality.
Immorality will attempt to hide or obscure itself from the mirror of True Morality, because to acknowledge its own ugliness is extremely provoking and offensive.
To compensate for this, it will strive to degrade the Moral base by normalising Immorality, whilst hidden within shadows and acting behind virtuous facades.
Manipulation and pressure will first be bought to bear on those of weakest Moral Integrity, as these will capitulate quickly, thus initiating a wave of capitulation.
All this, in the pursuit of creating a more hospitable environment for open Immoral behaviour.
Religion does not make
the Moral Individual.
The Moral Individual
reflects well on the Religion.
Definition
What is inferred by the phrase, “The Genuine, Full Human Experience” is,
- Emotional Intensity turned up to 11.
- Psychological Resilience turned up to 11.
With 10 being the maximum.
Oh! That is on a Logarithmic Scale.
Conceptually speaking.
Sub Definition
A Logarithmic Scale is where a division on that scale has a value 10 times greater than its predecessor.
A Linear Scale has a 1 to 1 relationship with all the divisions on it.
That is,
- The value of the division from 0 to 1 is 1 unit.
- The value of the division from 1 to 2 is 1 unit.
- The value of the division from 2 to 3 is 1 unit.
- And so on.
A Logarithmic Scale has a 1 to 10 relationship with the preceding divisions on it.
That is,
- The value of the division from 0 to 1 is 1 unit.
- The value of the division from 1 to 2 is 10 units.
- The value of the division from 2 to 3 is 100 units.
- And so on.
The reason for this scale is so that data sets with a wide range of values can be displayed in a compact manner.
