Fair enough. But who is the bad person in this instance? What is the bad thing they did in contrast to really bad people like kingpins and human traffickers? Is it worth jeopardising finacial stability and a career over it.
It seems to me we need a universal scale of morality - since people have to justify why they are continuing to work for a paycheck.
- wpietri 4y agoThere's always something worse, so that's not a reasonable way to decide whether something is sufficiently moral. Hit men can say, "Sure, I kill people for a living, but it's not like I eat them or have sex with their corpses after. Those are the real bad people; I'm just a professional doing a job like any other Joe." You can try constructing a universal moral scale if you want. For me it's sufficient to see if the people I might hire are good matches for the work and the team.
