#human morality

ofc YouTube shadow bans this

it's so funny to me that mr. Boring praises Ben's IQ, when Hitler himself adopted the IQ range to propagate that Jews aren't smart as humans, mr. Boring has no idea that IQ was a tool to dehumanise Jews...

So I’m not a member of any of these religions, but on the topic of doing no harm, I learned that in Hindu Dharma, Buddhism and Jainism, there is a concept known as “not harming,” Ahimsa. It’s known as (one of) the greatest vow(s) and is the hardest vow to achieve. And Ahimsa applies to not just your actions but also what you say and what you think. I guess this is what Lena is trying to achieve, but it’s the hardest vow for a reason

Y'all are asking really good questions that I can't answer. Pretty sure there are college professor out there spending their careers trying to answer these questions. The meaning of "do no harm" is varied and nuanced outside of its use in the Hippocratic Oath, and I dunno what to tell you except that it seems they wasted Ahimsa as an episode title last season, lol.

Human morality and submission to God’s law are entirely different in principle, though they may appear to be similar in outward appearance. Human morality arises out of culture and family training and is based on what is proper and expected in the society we live in. It has nothing to do with God except to the extent that godly people have influenced that society. Submission to God’s law arises out of a love for God and a grateful response to His grace and is based on a delight in His law as revealed in Scripture. When the societal standard of morality varies from the law of God written in Scripture, we then see the true nature of human morality. We discover that it is just as hostile to the law of God as is the attitude of the most hardened sinner.

“Love the sinner, hate the sin” is a fascinating concept. It is, of course, a human-created notion, since nowhere anywhere in the bible does anyone, least of all the “god” or “Jesus” characters, actually say it. Yet another example of human morality being superior to the immorality of “god.”

Losing Chuuya

Chunya is a caring character, and so other's reaction to his care is either going with or without, as it either might help them or bring them more problems.

This is reflected in his power, he's so unable to control it; that yes, it will help him wipe out all enemies, but in an instant he's flipped against everyone else including those he cares about.

He feels that Dazai's betrayal to the Port Mafia is a personal one as well, it wasn't only a simple moral move for Dazai to choose to be away frown the "bad" guys, and we start to see that after the initial story of BSD shifts from when the authors were presenting the lines of human morality between only back and white, however; the show goes on to try to explain that morality is much greier than it may look.

Although that some characters perceive morality in their own way, Dazai called Mori a pure ''evil'' for instance. Not to say that he has a black/white morality code, otherwise he'd not be involving Shin Sokuku together, so him calling Mori out is I think Dazai's unconscious defence mechanism against Mori's attempt to control Dazai's future, Mori wants Dazai to be the next Port Mafia boss, and this defence mechanism of villianising Mori to an extreme is Dazai's way to steer away from him at all costs.

This is where the writer loses Chuuya and what does his moral compass look like, which can be explained if Chunga is written to handle a case, where as insinuated in S3, where it seems gifted individuals can be artificially made, this would contribute much to the story since it sets itself to be an investigation of humanity.

Despite this, I don't think well get any more of Chunya besides being caring to the point of insane self sacrifice. because modern and even contemporary Japanese literature focuses on exploring the greatness of being human through the mundanity of life, Japanese literature is closer to Wordsworthian poetry while having to dive into the abstract nature of humans purely on abstract means is more in line with maybe French or Russian literature.

On his journey he might get to finally decide to forgive Dazai or not.

If you have anything to comment on regarding this analysis or how Chuuya's journy would look like, please tell me, I might be a little inspired to write a fanfic about this, or even co-write about Chuuya.

🤡👀👁 for the ask meme please! :)

Hey! Thanks for the ask! :)

🤡- describe the protagonist through the eyes of a background character

So I’ll do this for Fernando from “Human Morality” through Theodosia’s eyes:

“He’s a kind enough guy, charismatic with witty remarks, but there is something about him and I don’t like it. I don’t know what to make of him. As if he’s nervous all the time. I wonder how long he’ll last.”

👀- would you read fanfiction of your wip?

It’s my one and only dream.

👁- what seven words best sum up your wip’s aesthetic?

Human Morality: dark, knife, gun, blood, water, dust, maze

[A Very Original Title]: books, stage, laptop, notebook, drugs, music, disease

Righteous Vegan

I’ve become so used to the judgmental stereotypes given to vegans by the media and arts that I tend to just brush them off. The news simply wants something that’ll catch attention. The authors think they’re telling a joke that everyone can relate to. 

The 2000s has been really good to the image of vegans. We’ve strayed away from our reliance on anger and ironic violence.  We became a food centric tribe. You’re probably saying, ‘how was veganism ever not about food?’ Well it has always been about the animals, sometimes about the environment, and sometimes about one’s own health. 

Thanks to food technology vegans don’t have to live without ice cream or ‘chicken’ or mayo.  We’ve got butter and milk, even cheese that melts and stretches.  There are thousands (if not more) of people who make their living by sharing vegan recipes on blogs. We have turned to food as activism for veganism - Meatless Mondays, Mark Bittman’s VB6 (vegan before 6) book, numerous instagram accounts titled Vegan______ that just share pictures of food vegans are making all over the world.  

Are we viewed as righteous because we made substitutes of the food non-vegans eat? Are we viewed as righteous because our way of taking care of our environment and our health is through the food that we eat? 

The word, ‘righteous’, on its own isn’t necessarily an insult. Simply put, morally right. But from if you put the word, ‘self’, in front, it becomes an insult.  By being vegan we’re saying that we’re better than non-vegans? Our choices in food and our behaviors make us better, more moral people?  

If we aren’t judging our own morality, then who is? I have a clear idea of what’s right and wrong, and I feel horrible when I make the slightest slip to the wrong side of the line. That has nothing to do with being vegan, but everything to do with being human.
