Morality, Ethics, Code of Honour, Bushido-ism, whats in all these word ?
EVERYTHING...and lately, NOTHING.
Often, people make their decision, commonly a life altering one, based on these codes of conduct alone. Often it leads them to their own peril and worse case scenario, TO THEIR DEATH. In our so-called well-mannered society, the common premise is that ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Do it, and you're a hero, you'd be viewed as the PERSON WHO DID WHAT OTHERS COULD NOT, sometimes, MATYRED even.
However, sometimes, doing the opposite may not be so bad. People might not see it the way the person does, but at least HE SAVED HIS NECK RIGHT. And everything else...is COLLATERAL DAMAGE because of HIS DECISION. It aint easy to make, ok...sometimes it is, given a desperate situation EVERYBODY IS NOTHING and THE PERSON'S EVERYTHING.
Of course then the relevant question to ask here is, wont he feel GUILTY ? Answer to that is obviously a YES...and NO. Some people do it with a sense of satisfaction, like SELLING HIS BEST BUDDY OUT. But some people, with a tinge of morality and ethics left in him, would feel guilty. Probably haunt him his whole life, probably made a lot of enemies, probably would die anyway, probably would lose a few things but in the end, NO ONE'S TALKING. NO ONE'S gonna jeopardise anything NOW THAT THEY'VE GOT WHAT THEY WANT.
Somebody's got to be the FALL GUY sometimes.
The truth is, this whole morality ethics bushido or whatever crap you want to call it, its all BULLSHIT. At least from what I can observe from our current generation and era. With the economic downturn looming and hitting almost anybody's who's anybody here in this stupid planet, its pretty much every man for himself. People might not realise it, but eveybody's fighting and flipping tooth and nail just to survive out there. Its the freakin' jungle safari man! A DOG EAT DOG WORLD. Everybody's scrapping for bits and crumbs on the table, shoving, pushing and elbowing their way through.
NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ANYMORE. Morality, hell...you can just throw it out the window. Because it doesnt exist anymore. Every decision people make, even the world leaders, hey! They've got an agenda behind everything. People dont say anything really, even when its done in front of their own eyes.
Know why ? Because even though on the outside, everybody in this world's a Saint, deep down their subconscious, they all know, ITS A NECESSARY EVIL.
Well, now it beckons.
BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S GOT A FREAKIN SKELETON IN THEIR CLOSET.
Some people GOT LUCKY. NOBODY FINDS OUT. But others AINT SO LUCKY. So what do they do, they keep quiet. Some berates the other for their misgivings, shortcoming, mistakes, foolishness and the whole freakin' shebang. But GOD KNOWS THEIR LUCKY.
I'm saying all this cause' now I believe, no matter people say, it just purely hypocritism. What can I say, I'm a hypocrite myself. Im not saying Im a Saint. But isnt it irritating to see people whom you'd thought you know backstabbing. Isnt it irritating to see the so-called HOLIER THAN THOU'S well...being HOLIER THAN THOU when we all know its just an illusion.
What can I say, even Priest screw the Altar Boy in the confession box !
So what is morality ? What is ethics ?
Is it a tool of hyporcritism, or a shroud to cover shield the eyes of the masses from the truth, the reality ? You decide...
Im not always into these cryptic talks, but times have not been kind to me. I just need to share my mind.
This is Pat, signing out. * Beam me up Scotty * :)
