Also, my questions to everyone are follows:
1. Why should we take everything in the context of our own morality?True. Its human tendency to be limited in our thoughts, especially while sitting judgement on others, our tunnel vision hindering our abilities to look at an issue beyond our own set of perceptions and morality.
2. Is that not a lopsided view and lop-sided argument to judge everything by our own limited knowledge or view or paradigm of morality?Yes. Indeed
3. Are we not a product of our environment?Trusim.
4. So are we not trying to be judge and jury based on our own set of limitations and our own lack of understanding or lack of knowledge?Yes. It takes a higher consciousness to rescind our own pre- programmed thoughts, keep them aside and cast a subjective look at the world around us.
5. Are we not trying to make everyone live up to our own value system?Yep.
6. What if our own value system if flawed or the foundations on which our value system stands are itself flawed?I wouldn't go to the extent of labeling anyone's value system as flawed, but would put it down to ignorance. One needs to be aware of the basic right to belief, and be able to respect others for their value system or beliefs.Like in religion. The extremist enforcing laws in say Afghanistan are no more devout than a civilian who is killed in a crossfire. When an arrogant US deemed it fit that they attack a nation and write itself into history books, a genocide , the world looked on.So we have Uncle Sam - conceited, believing that they have supreme authority over the RoW and they are convinced they are somehow superior to the rest of the mankind......We would beg to differ, wouldn't we? So who would bell the cat? Who can hold a handle to them and point just how flawed their belief system is?Btw, this is an example merely. No intention of discussing politics in this forum.
