I'm just here, thinking about why anyone would kill!. Then I realized, it's so easy!. If you had a knife, could you easily kill someone!? I could!. I'm not saying I would, but I might!. Morals get in the way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Firstly, how do I know (and more importantly how do you) that this isn't just some appearance rather than what really is the case!? For instance, it seems like the sun rises and sets; however, the sun is stationary and the earth is what moves!. How do I know that what you have perceived to be the case isn't an appearance like what I just described!. Secondly, it seems that even immoral actions depend upon the usage of some virtues!. For instance, when a thief wants to be successful in stealing he needs the virtue of patience (or at least an understanding of patience so as to imitate it to get what he wants) in order to steal the item at exactly the right time; he needs patience so as not to be too hasty in action, else he get caught!. People who seduce others often depend upon wit ( or at least an understanding of wit so as to imitate it to get what he wants) in order to make that person which they wish to seduce feel comfortable and trustworthy of them, and seduction is often a form of manipulation!. So at least some forms of manipulation depend upon wit (or the imitation of wit, rather)!. How about hustlers!? The need to know how to imitate temperance or self-control so as to control their exceptional abilities, like at pool or cards, in order to make it seem like they are only an "average joe" like the person he wishes to hustle!. But, virtues have to do with being moral!. So, it seems that even those who are criminals and "low-lifes" cannot fully hide morality from their life-styles, since it seems they at least need the imitation of specific virtues in order to be successful at their immoral deeds!. In fact, it seems the imitation and exploitation of these virtues are fundamental for their actions, and without them trying to such actions would be much harder not easier!. I didn't say that were the same thing, firstly!. I said they have to do with a person being moral!. When you say a person is moral and a person asks what specific things make him so people often list of things like "generosity", "kindness", "honesty", "loyalty", etc!. Such things are called "virtues"!. Surely you wouldn't say that a person who was a liar, a person who betrayed you, inconsiderate, stingy; never sharing, selfish was a person who was "moral" would you!? Maybe morals would be the same thing as virtues, but I never said anywhere in this passage that they were!. Since you claim to know that they are not virtues, then you obviously have some idea what they are!. Could you help understand, please, what "morals" are!? also, you comment about questions clearly defeats this entire discussion which is dependent upon the question you asked!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Could!? Surprisingly easily!. As to whether or not "morals" are in play, that depends!. Quite frankly, I have known a few people who, for lack of a better word, "need killing!." That is, I believe that the world would be enhanced by their removal, and it is fear of the consequences of punishment by less sympathetic authority, rather than a belief in the sancity of human life, which kept me from killing them!. Seriously, I would have my doubts about the humanity of someone who could witness , for example, child abuse, and NOT want to kill the abuser!.Www@QuestionHome@Com JK, Morals are something you cant hide, its something inherent/acquired!. Its a motivation based on ideas of right and wrong!. When you say you might kill someone and it would become easier for you to do it, then it is definitely anchored on individual's principles of right conduct and/or the totality of your idea of right!. Much as I respect other belief's, modes of conduct are taught and accepted as embodying principles of right and good!. Thus, while still young we need a family, school and community as a whole, to intill those principles!. And when such stuff get into our system, maybe you could afford to do wrong for a while, but a guilty mind and conscience comes in, because what has been intilled in you prevails,unless you try to justify it and get away with your guilty conscience!. I maybe wrong, im not saying I am morally upright, either in this hostile jungle of right and wrong!. Honestly, you might kill but I dont think you can!. hehe Www@QuestionHome@Com V for Vendetta is one of my favorite movies!. :) If I had a knife, I could easily kill someone!. I wouldn't though!. I might want to!.!.!. but I know better- there's consequences for my actions!. If there wasn't consequences for your actions!? Would you do it then!? No, I wouldn't!.
