Morals are a facade

There is no good or bad. Who ever has the upper hand wins. I had to be on the recieving end to learn that.

What you "learned" is that sometimes people seem to succeed despite a lack of morals...but the morally bankrupt are not "winners" and their "success" doesn't bring them any more happiness.
Be that way if you don't agree...but I prefer good people who understand why morals are important.

@DragonFruit im just tired of trying to hold to good morals when it seems like noone else really cares and they take advantage of the weak.

@GuyWithOpinions As am I....which makes it all the more important for me to not join those who prey on the weak.
I'm glad that I was able to do fairly well financially without hurting others to do so...but I never viewed money as the ultimate goal.
@GuyWithOpinions It's called integrity

Unfortunately these days that is correct. There used to be honor. There used to be chivalry. There used to be code everyone tried to live by. Not anymore. Might makes right

I keep my morals and stay away from humans. I know I can't get ahead, I tried for most of my life.

So as long as I have enough, I'm just gonna chill and do my own thing.

Morals in themselves aren't a facade. Value is a value.
But painting everything with the same paintbrush is silly. What is good for one may not be good for another. And adhering to the good and bad of society creates hypocrisies at very deep levels.
It is far better to know what our values are and show up authentically in our lives.
You only learned someone hurt you. I promise you a thousand charades not caring is only going to cause you harm.
So then, cold blooded murder is acceptable to you?

@NativePortlander1970 judging by the state of the world, it seems to be an avergae part of human life. Maybe to avoid being murdered we should lrarn to think like the murders.
