What is morality? Do we still need it?

Question

Yesterday I talked to my ex-friend (not girlfriend) who is from Estonia and now lives in Norway. I've never met her in real life, I just had a virtual relationship via skype. Our talk was too long, but the discussion became heated when I asked her this question - "Is it normal for woman to have a sex with 3 people?" and she answered - "I don't really find it abnormal, it's not just for me." Honestly, I was really surprised, but despite this I asked another question - "A woman, taking part in orgy and group sex is a bitсh or not?" and she answered - "No, not at all. Where is your mind coming from?" Then I said that my mind came from morality and here is her answer - "I hate morality, it's one of the most stupid things ever." I was interested in if she knew what was morality. "Of course I know what it is, but it's really not for me." My statement - "If you hate morality, this means that you don't know it at all." Her answer - "Most of the people who follow the morality, what comes from 15th century, are an old and idiotic, people were stupid and then I'll block you know!" and my final answer - "OK, just fuсk off immoral slut!"

P.S. Your opinion would be pretty interesting about morality and of course about this funny and dramatic story. Please answer. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Do you choose to be moral?



Think about it.....



Two revolutions and two states of nature. Morality most likely exists, but certain people can choose to avoid adherence to it, denying its existence. Conversely, others may find themselves in a Quixotic battle against the forces of evil that would render morality nonexistent.



Choose to avoid such topics of conversation in the future, or choose like-minded comrades instead.

Answer 2

Morality is a individuals code of right and wrong.

It is usually brought along with religious dogma, although many secular individuals can be raised with it and accept it as well.



Do we still need it though?

Well, "Need" is a very interesting word.

Would I say morality is necessary? No, I would not.

Yet is morality useful? Indeed it is.



Morality, in a way, is primitive, in that is uses emotional values of guilt or conscience are used to instill values. These 'values' over time have become a way to basically avoid trouble over the long run.



Murder will make others extract revenge on you.

Stealing will obviously make others wish to punish you.

And sleeping around will either give you STDS or end up in pregnancy.

Or, give you a bad reputation when you actually do want to get serious.

Lieing makes others not trust you.



Basically, through no miracle, these types of things will catch up with you whether you believe in morality or not.

So in essence, morality is an unconscious forsight, an emotional (not intellectual) thought before a certain action.

Answer 3

Morality is something given to humanity make sure the'y don't decide let's start a revolution morality is a lie to keep humans in line the concept of heaven and hell and the 10 commandments are used as this thou shalt not kill isn't really a good thing that is like saying don't kill a serial killer even though he is going to bludgeon you with a hammer in kill or be killed situations technically your not supposed to kill in those situations anyway and some people really just need to die as for your story not sure how it came to you asking the question is it normal to have sex with 3 people and also morality is just a word everything you consider evil is natural

Answer 4

It sounds like you've got a need to tell other grownups how to live their lives, when it really isn't any of your business.



"An it harm none, do what ye will" is the best statement of morality I've ever heard. It doesn't harm you if a woman decides to have sex with two, three, or a hundred different people, no matter how many nasty names you call her about it.



Worry about the effects of your own actions. Once you're perfect, then maybe you'll be ready to start correcting others.

Answer 5

Morality is the knowledge of the difference between right and wrong. Ethics are moral judgements, or morals integrated into decision making. Some turn to religion to determine what is moral and what is immoral. I do not agree with this. We have our own thoughts and feelings and therefore are capable of determing what is moral for ourselves. It sounds like she was simply rejecting the idea that someone else would determine for her what is right and wrong. Murder is obviously wrong, because the impact on life is measurable. The immorality of having more than one physical partner is for each individual to determine based on the impact it has on people's lives.



As for what I think about your covo with her, you acted like a judgemental ***. Let her have her own perspective and keep your judgement out of it.

Answer 6

This is the only moral you need: Treat others as you want to be treated.



This covers murder, lying, adultery, and business and politics.



Sadly, I think Business and politics are the worst offenders. I guarantee if CEOs and politicians got treated like the rest of us, they'd hate it.

Answer 7

its useless word which makes a human in confusion for the life livings in his own way

Answer 8

Don't worry.
