What is moral and immoral to you?

Yes, it sounds a naïve question but each person has their own take on this.

If you lived in Republican Rome you would be very surprised what was moral and what was immoral!

Doesn't sound naive at all, in fact its a good question.

My moral/immoral meters are redefining as I grow as a person and have certain depths in understanding I did not have previously. To me, most of it is grey area.
What I do not tolerate however is abuse of any kind of a defenseless person/animal. There is no grey area there for me.

@SW-User I agree, abuse of power is evil!

I wouldn’t live in a place where others define what’s moral and immoral for me. I choose for myself and I’d keep it to myself. If I start talking about it, it may cause a chaos.

It's not naive question.
Moral is not to hurt anyone by any means physically, emotionally or mentally.
Plus we should have enough control over words we use to choose before speaking... because bullet of words never comes back ones they are fired.
Keep life simple your yourself and for others. Don't hurt others nor let anyone hurt you.
Stay strong for your survival. And if you are enough strong then first learn to control yourself.

It depends on the time and place, and context. Killing is wrong. But if someone threatens the life of my love ones, I won't headstart to kill. Decades ago, showing off your body in bikini is immoral. But now that's just part of instagram.

For me, I believe in do no harm to others, unless they intend to harm me. That I can use as my moral compass.

Moral to me is people of every walk of life loving one another. Simply said it doesn’t matter who you love just embrace love. Far easier than the immoral position of judging others for loving. Hate is absolutely immoral

@gdon39 Hate is something which is a consequence of the perception of morality and immorality

@Lust4Life perhaps, but the question posed was what is moral and therefore immoral as I understood it anyway.

I suppose morality is subjective in this case.

Consequently, in my opinion, to judge a person in order to evaluate them in of itself by yours and others opinion may be immoral or simply just be the exact same thing as imposing your beliefs or standards upon those who differ from what you think is proper.

I’m not trying to be a jerk but your response to mine gave me reason for pause. Tough question. I wish you well.

Inherently, I believe we are all born with morals. Children do not discriminate until they are taught to.

Hurting someone when you know it will, is immoral to me.

I think knowing the right thing and doing it is moral,knowing the right thing and not doing it is immoral.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@kodiac That's the definition of "moral". What concerns us, is how you define/recognise what the "right thing" is.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
If [b]you perform a conciouss act[/b] that [b]deliberatly affects other peoples' well-being[/b], then it [b]can be[/b] argued to be [b]immoral[/b]. Once you are in that bracket, you'll have to figure out for yourself to what degree you define "well-being" in every situation that you encounter. Some cases are more clear then others. The grey-zones are the one that are hardest to define, because they are ussually bound to circumstance and need further deliberation.

Immoral to me is causing harm moral is reducing harm.

In the USA; Liberal = immoral, people who work for a living and do not take handouts = moral. If you notice I left out Republicans / Conservatives as many are faking aka Rinos.

@acpguy I'm not American so I'm not up on the differences. All I see is a lack of emotional maturity and intelligence! There is a debate to be made, and calmness and fairness must be maintained to get the fullest of discussions and a positive result.
acpguy · C
@Lust4Life That is what liberals lack in the USA. They are certainly not fair, they lack intelligence as proven during the OBAMA regime, they are not willing to discuss as shown by the executive orders done by both Obama and Biden to avoid going through senate and the house.

That is just a term for the set of rules I live my life by, otherwise it's just a bunch of made up shit. In our rawest form, "moral code", has no meaning and everything we do is akin to nature's law...SURVIVE OR BE DEVOURED😎
Nah. I seen Spartacus
