It’s easy to complain about what’s wrong in society or politics or business but it’s much harder to define exactly what is "good" and what is "bad." Without doing so, our complaints and the actions that stem from them many not lead to any improvements.
Without a solid foundational moral philosophy, our actions to bring about good might actually promote what is bad.
This post is one of the most interesting post I've read not just on Steem but overall on the internet.
I really love the importance of the subject and how you treated it. I agree that NAP should be the foundation of all morality. NAP extended to all sentient beings.
Even if NAP would become the foundation of everyone's morality and hopefully it will someday this doesn't mean everything will be clear cut.
I guess just like everything else morality is dependent on who makes the observation.
A pray and its predator both want to survive and thus none of them want to be sacrificed. There is no morality here involved but I want to illustrate a point.
Let's imagine 2 persons in a competition for survival where the first one is faster and thus can attain an item necessary for survival but the second one is stronger thus when arriving he could have the choice to initiate violence to steal this item.
Now the person who was faster didn't initiate violence but what makes this person entitled to have this item over the stronger person isn't so clear. What if the faster person is also a mass murderer but the stronger person doesn't know?
To mean who is entitled to the item and thus what is moral isn't always obvious.
Fortunately today people can produce and provide more than what is needed for them and their love ones. The problem isn't the lack of things but how they are managed.
The situation I shared is only a very specific one but I feel like everything we face in life is a challenge and in that sense our sense of morality is tested. Should we do the moral and hard work of helping the needy or should we be lazy and selfish and is this really so clear cut?
