Perhaps... What is moral perception?
I dont know if that actually is some concept already. But what I meant with this is when you try to analyse different moral thoughts to look for which one that has the most potential to be the higher moral. It think that approach can be quite troublesome if one tries to find ones own right moral in that way. Because seeing moral in that way, becomes more like a law to follow with the help of logic thinking, instead of something you actually should feel with your whole being.
And since ones moral is at the feeling part of oneself, then I believe that to find the answear to what moral standpoint one should take. Is the one that feels as good as possible for everyone involved, if there happen to be a situation that demands some action. That of course, is easier said than done like with many things.
I'm sorry about that part.... I was having trouble expressing myself there
I do believe this, and I have heard it said by professors, that all cultures and societies have the same capacity for intelligence. Some use their intelligence to progress using logic and reason. Many great things come out of it. Other cultures use myth and wisdom. And within this stories reside great truths. It's like when you look at the sky and somehow, at that particular moment, you feel this magic, like the whole world makes sense. Or how people can easily understand metaphors. There is importance in both logic and myth/instinctive wisdom/I don't know what to call it. I don't like it when people bash people saying "this person has no inner compass/wisdom" or "this person has no logic". It disturbs me because both people are good and intelligent and it seems wrong to me say that they are stupid... By drastic, I meant people who only believe in logic/science and those who only believe in insight/faith. Both things are beautiful and smart. (or so I think).
No problem, I dont think I made to much sense with saying moral perception either.. Now when I look back at it. Ah okey I think I get what you are going for now. Do you feel confusion about your own moral when you understand the logic of how homophobes think? That is.. You agree with their logic but dissagree with what they their logic says, at the same as you actually understand how they might think and feel? Ah, okey. I agree with your drastic view then.
I don't think there is something wrong with me doing that. I think there might be something wrong with me understanding why both are in their rights, because, being opposing views, one seems to be wrong. In my opinion, that would be the homophobes, but because I understand their innate feeling of repulsion, their innate knowledge that tells them, that's wrong ("I'm not gonna take their rights away, but I know it's wrong."), I fail to see how exactly where they are wrong. It's like, I understand why both homophobes are right, and I can't perceive why either is morally wrong...
Oh.. I should maybe read your whole post before I start replying, just ignore the question above. For you to accept everyones personal perspective, that is so far so good. (Or excelent to be a little more precise.) A long as everyone are free to be themselfs, that is the main goal. What is the problem with someones personal perspective however. Is when a person acting out their own perspective with the intention to suppress another persons sense of self. So I would say that, that might be your missing piece. But to try to suppress the suppressor inorder to make the suppessor to stop, is not a very effective or good method at all.
It's like, I understand why both homophobes are right, and I can't perceive why either is morally wrong...
They are right as long as they dont acting it out on others. But it is actually more complex than this, because this is only represent a moral perspective of what is considered good. The most important perspective of moral though.
I have seen so much blatant discrimination to these mentally disabled individual by the staff and when I bring it up... It's like I'm the crazy one. It makes me wonder... Is it possible for people to truly be accepting of everyone.
It should be possible since we all got a somewhat similar brainstructure(I think). But there is of course many aspects that plays huge parts aswell. You might be percieved as the crazy one, but that is merely because someone who is considered crazy. Is a person who doesnt think as everyone else. And since you are standing up to something good, that should make it pretty clear that it is the crazy people that are to crazy to see what it means to be sane.
(I hope the music I am listening to write now is not making me write with an over-dramatic tone....)
Hehe I recognize that.. No, I whish that I would be able to read what you expressing from more people. It sounds more like you are going in the most reasonable right direction with all this.
