That's not the definition of morality. That's self-interest or self-preservation. Adhering to a set of guidelines or rules with empathy, regardless if it doesn't immediately register as detrimental to ourselves is more like it.
- deltaonefour 5y agoIt's not the definition but it's interrelated. When survival directly contradicts morality. Survival takes priority and morality is overridden. Hence people act immorally in the name of survival.
- ILMostro7 5y agoGranted. Nevertheless, "survival" might be subjective as well then. Anyway, I'll either have to come back to this at another point or leave it alone :D lest I go too far down the rabbit hole. Thanks
