Morality

“Your morality shouldn’t be externally derived, it must come from within.”

As discussed in Theory of Self-Relativity”, when asked “Why are you religious?”, the common answer is “Because I want to be a good person” or “Because I want people to know that I’m a good person”. This is the same mindset that many have when they align themselves with other social-constructs, popular-trends, and ideologies.

Our morality and our sense of good and bad, just like our purpose and meaning in life, shouldn’t be derived externally through other-people or other-things. Our morality and our sense of good and bad should come from within, because as sentient yet cognitive beings, we have the ability to know what is right and what is wrong. We do so because we know when a good or bad is done to us, how that feels and how it impacts our existence. Hence why Self-Relativity advocates:

“Do unto others as you do unto your Self”.
