Incomprehensible Blathering

The shallow stream is easily crossed. The shallow mind, even more so.

Quote on morals

What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage. The mere act of believing that some wrongful course of action constitutes an advantage is pernicious. -Marcus Tullius Cicero, statesman, orator, writer (106-43 BCE)

---

I read this a couple of times and I find that I like it, a lot. - The trick here is determining what is "moral". What is or is not moral must be left to the person making the decision. No other may make that decision, not "God", not the Church, not the community as a whole. That person, with conscious and sentience, must decide.
