Be happy independently and have your own time, then when somebody lets you down, its never long until you dont care about it and are happy again.

Treat others like youd like to be treated is a good one, but bite back if somebody else aint applying this and being a tit.

see, I aspire to be nice but its just not my natural default setting. Then when I force it it feels false. Kinda like a photo smile.

plus I also have very low tolerance levels.

Oh comeon Zippy. Everyone can find that natural default niceness within them. Search deeper

Absolutely No Requests - Because once you have done something you can't change it.

I do stand but the treat people how you want to be treated line as I was bullied in the past and do believe people should be nicer to one another.

Wow the depth of discourse and philosophy here. The average UK morality seems to have been reduced to:
I dunno. Be nice I guess?

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

See both sides of things (not easy I know)

To, no matter what, tell my family I love them daily. I can NEVER let my daughter go to bed without a hug and me telling her that. Same when she heads off to school. Don't give a sh!t how sappy that sounds

And I suppose yours is the Bible?

I have to defend El Proximo on this point actually.

It's too often taken for granted what's morally good and morally bad. The British mentality on these things is that values are a thing of common sense, when in actual fact it is very much relative to culture and conditioning and prone to change over time. This isn't to we shouldn't treat others kindly, but that it's a mistake to think of it as a spontaneous human inclination. Using ourselves as the measure of values is not enough.

It's a very tricky one really. I can see what you mean but I still don't think people get a deep sense of morality from that. Comes from inside

It is yours.
It's why you believe that helping the homeless is 'morally good'. It's why you think equality is 'a good thing' to aim for.
It's why you think poor people ought to have social services.

These are things you not only accept as 'moral codes' but you don't even question them. It's nearly 'inherent' via your culture and upbringing,
and,
so much that you haven't even questioned them. Of course they are good! right?
You are probably scoffing in disbelief that I'm even talking about these as being questionable!
You have these 'moral presumptions' because of the Bible. You enjoy the benefits they bring but want to disassociate them from the source. Joker face is on you after all.

Is it? Because everything you said there doesn't have anything to do with that...

Now you know.

joeysteele · 31-05-2011, 10:58 AM

Reach out to other people,those I know and don't know and help them when and if you can.
We journey life together, if someone's really struggling help carry their load with them.

Be yourself, unless your a wanker.

Livia · 31-05-2011, 11:14 AM

I try never to say anything behind anyone's back that I'm not willing to say to their face.

BB_Eye · 31-05-2011, 10:57 PM

I find it hard to deduce universal moral truths, but I act as if they did exist. The same goes for free will. I suppose you might call it faith.

Vicky. · 01-06-2011, 12:28 AM

Meh. I tried the treat others the way you want to be treated thing, and got **** on from a great height repeatedly. So now its pretty much do whatever the hell you like and screw what others think :/ Be nice and people walk all over you IMO, so why bother.

I agree with livias post though, I would never say something behind someones back that I wouldnt/havent said to their faces.
