morality [Theme]



Art and morality interact with each other just like science and religion. Somewhere they complement each other, somewhere they enter into an irreconcilable dispute.

There is no consensus in the world about morality, but there is an unspoken conspiracy to consume the same goods.

There was a strict order in the war: no matter how difficult it was, the wounded were certainly carried out from under the fire. This showed concern not only for saving human life. This was the basis of the faith of those going into battle: no matter what happened to me, my comrades would not leave me. The memory of the dead, a sensitive attitude towards the war disabled - this is maintaining the same high morality.

Japanese morality prescribes avoiding direct confrontation and not allowing situations where one side would completely prevail over the other. The defeated person must not be allowed to “lose face” and appear humiliated and insulted before others. This would mean touching such a painful chord as “weights” - a debt of honor, that is, making oneself a mortal enemy.

Humanity does not have true ethics and cannot follow morality because the normal behavior of people is mechanical and impulsive, and there are no strong real ethical standards in their program.

In the modern world, everything seems to be specially designed to turn people into a crowd, that is, to “demoralize” or destroy their morality through merging with the crowd. Demoralization directly leads to loss of the meaning of existence and, as a consequence, to moral degradation.

Why are the music and film industries so obsessed with sex? We are told that this is because “sex sells,” that is, the masses want sex, they want to see it and consume it. Thus, these industries are simply satisfying an already existing demand. In fact, these industries create demand. They force shamelessness on people until they create dependence. It's the same with drug distribution. Nobody naturally wants to inhale smoke. No one wakes up wanting to inject deadly chemicals into their veins. Nobody naturally wants to drink the rancid, rotten fermentation products of putrid fruits and vegetables. These are all artificial desires that these industries spend billions of dollars a year on, injecting them into the minds and souls of people through advertising and other forms of cultural engineering until people begin to think that these desires arise naturally and therefore need to be satisfied. This is why Western morality is so naturalistic. According to him, the most moral thing is to act in accordance with natural human rights and natural human interests. The liberal human rights regime is based on this. But no one is interested in how natural these rights and interests are? And even if they are natural, who decided that we are morally obligated to act in accordance with what is “natural”?

True morality is a manifestation of character; it must be realized only freely and consciously. This is why the people who make up the crowd cannot behave truly morally.

Morality is neither an innate ability of a person, nor his intentional volitional acquisition, having turned, unfortunately, into an external gloss applied by civilization, the rules of which change depending on the interests of society of each era.

Society is well aware of this problem and therefore punishes in every possible way for immoral or antisocial behavior. Rejection by society and, in extreme cases, imprisonment could have long ago discouraged people from breaking the law, but in practice this does not happen, since people adhere to morality not thanks to Nature, but because of ethical norms, which are only a social inoculation for them, and not part of their inner essence. Moreover, these norms of behavior are nothing more than rules that are considered accepted in a certain society and vary greatly depending on place or constantly change over time.

Although society constantly promotes morality, few people accept it deeply, meaningfully and without coercion. Most people treat morality as a burden or an onerous duty, which they are forced to take into account, but to which they do not pay much attention, so as not to give up their favorite entertainment.

Well-known morality is based on religious and ideological principles, and a person perceives it passively and automatically. This inevitably leads him to the suppression of instincts and impulses or to destructive emotions - such as a feeling of guilt if a person’s actions contradict morality. Suppression is harmful and undesirable, because over time a real “devil’s cauldron” is formed in a person’s subconscious, so sublimation of instincts will be the best solution.

A person does not have strong moral foundations; his behavior is subordinated to selfish interests, passionate desires and momentary illusory good. In search of happiness and goodness, he takes the apparent for reality and too often goes astray, falling into sin and corruption. Neither religious nor moral censures are able to restrain him. This happens because no one really understands what is good and what is bad, what is fair and what is not.
