What is Morality

Morality is the capacity to determine write from wrong. This is important because when you can clearly see the difference between this is a lot easy to act and know when self defense is necessary. The world moral unfortunately has some negative connotation attached to it, because it was used in the past by some people to camouflage their vices. Like for example judging others from a moral higher standard or justifying their vices or suppressing others free expressions on the justification that is immoral to act in a certain way. Well this is not what true morality is the definition according to the Merriam Webster dictionary for morality is: of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior.

Morality it is simply determining the right and wrong behavior according to certain principles. It is important to note that it is based on principles not rules, this are two different concepts. Rules are the tools used by the ruler the person who is making the rules it is a component form the dynamic of master and slave, in order for someone to be the ruler you need someone to be ruled. And this always creates an unfair dynamic a win - lose situation, because if you are making the rules you can make rules that make you immune from the negative consequences others aren’t giving you an unfair advantage. So then morality is just the justification of the abuse.

This is why true morality is based on principles not rules, and the definition for principles is: the laws or facts of nature underlying the working of an artificial device. Principles are based on the universal laws of nature they are not based on arbitrary decision made by a person or a small group of persons. They are based on the laws of which nature functions and they apply to everybody nondiscriminatory. In the case they are not respected the consequences are imminent and inescapable indifferent of who you are, this is why you don’t need rulers or police to enforce principles because they are nondiscriminatory and inescapable when people are not confused they tend to respect them because of the direct benefits they receive from it or to avoid the negative consequences of not respecting it. So you don’t need to force people with violence to respect this.

However some people are confused and don’t respect some principles, this is why based on the principle of self defense you have the right to use self defence force against every body that is using violence towards you.

So what would make something right or moral? Something that is right is an action that is in accordance with the principle that respect the natural laws that facilitates one's happiness without diminishing others. While wrong or immoral is the opposite is when you violate the natural law, it is when your actions are making you happy at the expense of other people happiness.  

Morality is not so much about judgment or enslavement or suppression as much it is about happiness. It is the interdependence between people, the capacity we all have to live with each other and use each other in a way that is not diminishing. You are entitled to this and have the right to defend against anybody that is going to try to steal it from you.
