@RodrickSage Morals are stupid.

Mercy to your enemies is cruelty to yourself.

@RodrickSage - depends on the morals in question. There are some hills that I would die on, and some that I wouldn't. 💁🏻‍♂️

It would probably also depend on the particular circumstances.

The thing to remember about that is, someone who clings to life at all costs, can be easily cowed by the threat of death. And that's a very simple and easy threat to make (and to carry through).

So like everything, I'd say it's a balance.

@RodrickSage I don't treat morality seriously because people act in their own self interests. This applies regardless of how a person is construed as "pure", as there's a degree of selfishness to achieve, in the religious sense, eternal salvation. For instance, are kind acts really "kind", or are they are price of admission to gain entry to heavenly bliss in the afterlife? It appears to be transactional from a certain point of view.
