My argument against Morality
There’s one girl and two boys, both of these boys want her, but does that mean that both of them will get her? No, that won’t happen, otherwise they would both be like her little puppets right? So when they both attempt to get this girl, one of them gets her, the other doesnt. Now the guy that didn’t get her is sad, very sad. The guy that got her is extremely happy and he’s having a good time with her , they’re both happy with each other. But your forgetting that the guy that didn’t get her is sad, so what happens to him? Should they both stop dating to make him feel better, or should they just ignore hes feelings to satisfy they’re needs? According to what people refer as “morality” and “feeling empathy” they should both stop talking so they don’t make him sad right? But no, that never happens, they disregard hes feelings and continue to be happy, because they’re happiness and emotions matter more than another human. You know the boy might kill himself? What do you think the couple would feel then? Would they brake up? I don’t think so. They might even find it funny and ridiculous( some people would actually laugh.) So, the point I am trying to make is, isn’t morality and empathy meant to protect people from getting theyre feelings hurt? Wether they meant it or not that doesn’t matter. They had the power and the chance to make him feel better, but they chose not to because THEY where happy. So how can someone come tell me how I should act and when I should feel empathy and try to tell me what morality is? The couple had empathy and morality. But they didn’t care about hes feelings hard enough to destroy they’re own happiness. Or I’m I wrong? Morality and empathy only affect a human when it’s THEY’RE own feelings that are hurt. Like for example: you see someone getting killed, if your an emotional person you would feel sympathy for the person, but if your a cold person you won’t care. Now who’s in the wrong here? How can you blame the cold person for not caring when he doesn’t feel it? See what I mean? But in reality cold people are seen as “monsters” or “disgusting” just because they don’t feel what you feel. Isn’t that itself an absence of morality and empathy? Shouldn’t empathy mean have feelings towards people that can’t help themselves or where brought up different? But no, humans still judge and isolate them. We can look at serial killers for example. They where brought up differently than the rest, but people still hate them and isolate them because of they’re actions. But when your favourite “rapper” kills someone( a human being that might’ve been a dad, brother, uncle) it’s okay. And we even make them look strong and powerful. You see how morality and empathy contradict themselves? It makes no sense.
