Right and Good; A Disappearing Moral. A 'blksoul_x' perspective.

[blksoul_x]

In all spears of current society, it appears the operation of common moral maxim has been diminished. It seems we accept man-made transgressions of the sort as truth, ie; racism, hatred, adultery, poverty, war, homosexuality, and the like. Far to many people that rip the moral fabric of universal standards, [[good, right), those that claim that humans make 'mistakes', those that add to the devastation of human productivity, [[like family structure, community strength), say far to much that they made a 'mistake'. It would seem that a mistake is leaving house keys at the neighborhood diner, a blackberry falling out a pant pocket, or making a left turn, instead of a right turn. It seems now society has interpose these everyday mistakes with societies larger immoral transgressions. Many harbor, adultery is a simple 'mistake', 'giv'em a break', 'they are human', 'we all make mistakes'....blas'e blas'e! They blame the options that are presented to the adulterer at the time of his immoral judgements the issue.

We no longer blame the human for his/her so-called 'mistakes'. Society claims, entertainer's, teacher's, politician's, athlete's, etc; are NOT role models. Suggesting that they are ONLY human, and nothing else. As if being human is less than? To be sure, if we look at it logically, since they are human, ought they represent common moral truths. Does this mean, once you become accomplished, crafted, successful, [[or options become more available), then all the natural human goods go away? Those that harbor such a less than human attitude, [[mistakes), are the very reason that society will continue to suffer.

The grey area between right/good and wrong/bad , [[called the 'mistake'), is what society seems to support today. The philosophy of reason is now limited in our daily course.The 'customer is always right' attitude, [[predicated by the capital market institutions), appears to be the attitude of most. I heard a woman the other day, yelling at a cashier clerk, because she thought the line was to slow. The cashier softly ask the lady to 'be patient, our registers are malfunctioning', and the loud woman went on and on stating, the malfunctioning register is not the fault of her, rather, she ought to 'get the darn, [[explicit) thing fixed'. Later, after calm prevailed, the lady apologized to the clerk, [[of course, after she finished her transaction), and said it was her 'mistake', explaining, 'she had a long day'. The sentiment of the people in line was, she is a real women, because she understood the 'mistake' she made. NO! how bout' a real women would not have made such a so-called mistake!

It appears that we have excepted the illogical behavior of making moral 'mistakes'. I'm not sure if the two can go together__morality and mistakes. Do the options that we have available surrounding human behavior dictate our morality and so-called 'mistakes'? One logic is absolute to us as humans [[truth), and the other is a man-made product [[mistakes). Society has become so far removed from the basic conception of what is naturally human,[[universal), insofar as A plus B equates to C, that now society conceives that C is the start of the equation rather than the end result. In other words, society would rather change man-made laws, [[C), ie; gun laws, etc instead of changing the mindset of the people with the guns [[A and B).

Bottom line, it seems all over, people would rather base their decisions outside of moral principles and values. Trust is something that is long lost in our society. Especially in our time of technological advancement. Society is being dictated from the fingertips of modern keyboards, rather than block clubs and handshakes. More and more people are texting, tweeting, face-booking, etc. We now allow ourselves to be self-absorbed in our own unique cyber universe, rather than the universe that is naturally provided. To be sure, the natural laws of the universe, if followed correctly, will allow humans to live life free, and away from the destructive behavior of external devices that hamper our gifted souls.

The universe will correct itself and our so-called 'mistakes'. Will society be prepared for the correction, or will society continue to interfere with the corrective process of the universe. The latter will be devastating, and humans will suffer the most. Moral mishaps cannot be corrected. The end is present, how and what level of suffering to which we go-out, is totally up to us.__go figure!

I assume you meant 'spheres'?

[Retroit]

blacksoul_x, I agree with you.

[[Spelling 'mistakes' aside.)

[Detroit Stylin]

Yep you pretty much hit 90% of our societal ills on the head....

[alsodave]

Great post.

[Stosh]

A good post as well. Humans. That's the ticket.

[Maof]

agreed.....for once

[ccbatson]

Yeppers...the left has long been amoral.

[Lorax]

Some good points, though a little moralistic and preachy for my tastes.

Also, what does homosexuality have to do with "mistakes?"

What you describe as a moral issue in the shouting woman at the checkout is more of a breeding issue- lack of courtesy and class.

I do agree about our cyber-state mentality. It's gotten way out of hand and needs to be curtailed.

[Lorax]

Yeppers...the left has long been amoral.

Speak for yourself.

As a member of the Reich you align yourself with fascism throughout history. Not a pretty club to willingly be a member of. Sad.

[ccbatson]

Speaking of Fascism....private bank ownership under government control...Mussolini style fascism precisely channeled by Obama. Liberal Fascism Lorax...told ya so.

Not quite- they weren't nationalized like they should have been.

And it was the Tush Administration that set that ball into play, not Obama. He continued it by not adressing it. Nothing liberal about it- fascism is when the government and corporate interests are melded. We've had that for years under Rethuglican controlled congresses and presidents going back to Reagan.

[ccbatson]

So you agree that it is ongoing, just not as fast and as completely as you would like. Logically, you must also agree that this is fascism of the liberal sort...oops, seems you have been both sides of that fence lately.

[Lorax]

You're a lousy fisherman, Batts. Baiting me ain't gonna work.

Socialism will expand under Obama, thankfully, but only to a degree, since he is a right-of center Democrat.

We need full-bore socialism as in the Dutch or Scandanavian models to really make a difference.

[ccbatson]

Fascist style socialism on a continuum with communism. I do admire your courage in admitting your approval [[unlike Obama) though.

[Lorax]

LOL!!!

You just won't give it up, will you? LOL!!

Fascism is far right ideology, of which you expouse.

Communism is far left ideology, of which I only partly expouse.

Socialism is what I adhere to, and think is the direction we need to go as a nation.

[ejames01]

Does he have to do this crap on EVERY thread? What on earth does this have to do with socialism?

[Ravine]

My, my. How philosophical.

Just checking: Is it still OK to perpetuate racism by tossing around ugly generalizations, based entirely on skin color, about other human beings? Is that definitely right & good, wrong & bad, a "mistake," or... a clumsy sort of "black comedy?"

Bear with me, please. I'm trying to keep my scorecard up to date.

[elganned]

More whining about how "the world is going to hell nowadays"... Every generation does it. There are historical documents dating back to the Roman empire where one Roman compains to another Roman about the decline in public morality, etc., etc.

Everyone agrees that "truth" is the universal value, but ask two people what "truth" is and you'll get three different definitions.

The devil is in the details, as always. The length of a minute varies depending on which side of the bathroom door you're standing.

Sounds more like u r trying to provoke....

Batt's starts to hijack threads by constantly trying to redefine terms to suit his fascist agenda, and I was only correcting him.

[gnome]

BSX- good post ... but I liked it better when Sarah Palin said it.

I always knew you were a closet Republican.

[Lorax]

Still wondering what homosexuality has to do with "mistakes" in his diatribe on our "moral failings."


Now if he had said "Rethuglican" as a core mistake, then it would make sense.

[East Detroit]

Batt's starts to hijack threads by constantly trying to redefine terms to suit his fascist agenda, and I was only correcting him.

Please refrain. We already see how ridiculously stupid his comments are.

[ccbatson]

How many times have I posted this definition now?

Strictly regulating commerce means what to you Lorax? How is the Obama administration not endeavoring to do just that?
