Morality is a concept made possible by self-awareness, which most humans are in a state of. (The exception being the mentally disabled, which only through and defined by their opposite, (the able) is “disabled” defined.) Coincidently, the mentally disabled who are not self aware (as far as one can tell) are also the ones void of moral responsibility. They can be conditioned, or disciplined, to satisfy the disciple’s will, thus satisfying the moral framework through which the disciple wills, but they don’t necessarily have a concept of morality. They are acting on pure animal instinct, or animal rights. The disciple is doing the same.
Whatever one does is pure animal instinct. There are absolutely no exceptions. If the reptilian section of the brain calls, but the cosmically aware section of the brain restrains, and one acts on behalf of the restraint, with a looming sense of primitively influenced doubt, it is due to their nature’s calling. The remaining doubt is stored as part of their conscious experience and is used to fuel further contemplation which is and is a part of the constantly evolving universal morality. In other words, homophobes often don’t act upon their hate, because doing so is wrong.
Thanks to desire besides the desire for sustenance, coupled with human intelligence, technology has given us tons of things to do besides spend the majority of our time tending to the requirement-to-be-met of our sustenance-need’s calling. The mode/nature of unnecessary hobbies that have evolved throughout time, along with their applications and results, have always been met with a shock-influx of conflicts within the mode for moral guidelines, (which ironically has just as much to do with the development of the hobbies as the hobbies themselves, since the two are inseparable). For example, hundreds of years ago, Billy dreamed that one day he could ride his horse to the top of the rigorous mountain on the edge of his backyard, and maybe even build a custom carriage that could withstand the jagged rocks. He had a since of adventure, loved a good challenge, and liked heights. He was also curious about the stars. Generations later, a grandmother in that family line is talking to Johnny, the astronaut, telling him stories about how a sense of adventure, and a love for the stars has been in the family’s blood for ages.
Humans, especially now, have achieved on a large scale, which is why morals are becoming more and more “stingy”. They must account for their surroundings, which are on a constantly growing scale. The more our actions, ambitions, and achievements mingle and conflict, the more our personal values and moral responsibilities mingle and conflict. In order to grow as a species, given all of our unnecessary indulgences, we must question the dogma of our forefathers, which can be difficult. It is hardwired into our being. But, it must be done, and is being done right now. After all, it is their ideas which have led to our being able to communicate on the internet our ideas inspired by our own imaginations coupled with the ideas that they forged. We should expect and encourage new moral guidelines, and constantly be questioning the values which lend to others’ discomfort. It is our responsibility, given what our current situation has done for us.
