There is something I’ve started to notice recently.
We all have an internal compass that seems to guide us pretty decently.
Uncorrupted, it points us north,
stopping our decisions from going back and forth.
But this contrasts with something a Chinese farmer recently taught me.
And that is that right or wrong is what a decision can never be.
Some people solve this conflict by believing in a higher entity.
That dissociates the question form our own identity.
Then what force is constantly guiding our actions,
if everything we do is just a set of micro-transactions?
Anyone looking for an answer is studying the practice of what it means to be well-meant.
Because morality is the inherent understanding that suffering in others is what we should try to prevent.
