Embarking on a quest for objective morality spanning over a decade, my journey has led me through the intricacies of man-made dogmas and the elusive nature of divine guidance. The pursuit of a moral compass has prompted me to challenge and refine my beliefs continually. In the exploration of what defines moral principles, I've encountered questions of accountability, the role of collaboration in preventing harm, and the nuances surrounding individual actions. This narrative delves into my reflections on morality, accountability, and the responsibility we bear as individuals in shaping a just and respectful society.
For over a decade, I've sought objective morality, finding no man-made dogma truly objective. My conclusion: objective morality stems from God, yet accessing it directly eludes me. Ivan Karamazov's dictum, 'If there is no God, anything is permitted,' echoes. While divine guidance remains elusive, treating others with respect requires no divine intervention. Causing harm and loss is unequivocally wrong, but otherwise, we should live freely, ensuring our actions harm only ourselves.
As I navigate the complexities of moral considerations, the quest for objective morality remains an ongoing journey. The importance of open dialogue, accountability, and offering opportunities for change emerge as crucial aspects. In a world filled with diverse perspectives, the commitment to understanding, questioning, and collaborating becomes essential for fostering a community that values not only individual freedoms but also collective well-being. This exploration serves as an invitation to ponder the intricacies of morality, urging us all to contribute to a society founded on respect, accountability, and the pursuit of a shared moral compass.
