happy you are all good. Some people who are not well find there lives to be lacking, and long for some imaginary things. And sometimes just asking directly helps

sorry, but your comment felt slightly depressing, just wanted to ask you if you are well

you seem slightly sad, wanna discuss?

i would believe this, if the physics in our dreams stays consistent, which it does not

i don’t know how the /s in the middle looks, if you just want it to appear verbatim, use the code mode /s, to use it, wrap whatever you want to keep verbatim between pair of 3 back ticks ```hello```

for those who did not get it, this statement was sarcastic and written without /s

no (yes), i prefer no sarcasm marker ideally, but if you have to, i prefer /s over some others (i dont like /jk or lol). If you can’t tell sarcasm from not sarcasm, you really should not be using internet.

i like /s

well that gives me some soothe

my family is dying and i dont like it, atleast get me on the tracks with them, would not be able to live with the guilt anyway

i dont really have anything to add or ask, but appreciate what seems like unicode character in your username.

sorry, i am tired, but i have answered your question above. In short - we are shortsighted, and not really that smart. we always view history from tinted scoped lenses, if we find situations where violence was necessary, then we also find situations where it did not result in violence. And even if last time it required violence does not equate to violence this time to. Re-evaluate all situations, That is the least we can do, and getting violent is a very taxing activity on us. If try to reason, the time it would take for it to be just as taxing is much larger, so reasoning well is still pretty beneficial.

my definition of morals (which maybe is wrong) - is according to your knowledge, what is and is not acceptable to be do. As knowledge, updates, you move a action from one bucket to another - morals to me is not a list of things to do or not to do, it is framework, a constitution you form, according to which you deem a action moral or immoral.

my question is should your constitution deem a action moral/immoral in some situations, and opposite in others, and if so, where and how can you define such limits, and is it good to define such limits

Problem is, people are not good at predicting, most people cant think much in future, not really because of our limits, but the problem itself, and having moral allowance ever, allows for being corruptible, and assuming that current situation requires violence, when in actuality it did not

Can we not achieve peace without violence? What really stops us? Is it just that people are corruptible, and they would when given chance. I dont think so, maybe my naivety, but people are not inherently evil, they are just lazy, and would do nothing in most situations, and beyond certain trigger, most people people try to seek a new lazy spot, for that most people try the laziest approach.

sorry to be rude - but the question is not about violence. If violence is inescapable - then for whom is the violence justified - who gets to choose that. I went into more detail about this on someone else’s reply, but it is the flexibility is what i am questioning

by stature, I meant in context of power sharing in the dynamics.

unless violence is necessary and matches the profundity of the situation

I also replied to someone else, but how do we know when violence is necessary? And how much?

how do we know we have exhausted all options? could it be our ignorance just getting the better of us?

sorry, I have not seen much horror (or hardly any).

morals ARE inherently flexible. If they weren’t, we would never learn anything or progress as a society or even as individuals.

I dont think so. Why would morality inhibit progress. Stale knowledge does prevent, but morals dont really change. By morals being flexible, I mean - “Killing is very bad, except in so and so situations, you have to”.

but you absolutely have direct control over the actions you take to influence it and the way you adapt and react to it

someone else also mentioned this, but i dont agree with this either, there are situations where you are blinded, in such situations, knowledge is not free, and only a few control it, and I find them to be the wrong-doers. If someone uses gun to commit crime, then these blind people are essentially just weapons.

Morals can’t be absolute. Tolerance can’t be absolute. Everything is flexible and eternally changing. It’s scary and it’s complex but people have to come to terms with it.

I agree with the scary and complex part, but i still uncertain about morals.

I agree mostly - but not with the most part in beginning. There are a lot of situations, where 2 parties involved are of not same stature - someone among them may not be in a position to prevent escalation
