1. MORAL
VALUES?
During
the recent 2004 election rhetoric by both candidates we have seen
the ignorance surface as never before on the issues of morals and
values. Ethics has so clouded and obfuscated those two terms no
one has any idea as to what the two terms mean. Please go to your
dictionary and be enlightened. I will take you to mine, a
Random House dictionary and to define morals: 'of, pertaining to, or
concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the
distinction between right and wrong;'___ then___'ethical' is added
and a contradiction is entered by dictionary semanticists. Ethics
makes no distinction between morals and values, when they state that
we have 'moral values,' and they purposely muddy the waters or create
grey issues.
Values, are things, 'of
relative worth, merit or importance, a monetary or material worth,'
(dict.) the tangible material universe. Socially, intangibly, are the
ideals, customs, traditions, education, socio-economics, love, and
friendships, that creates our character individually, as contained
within various cultures. Economics, the things of value we invent,
sell, and work for, that determines our cultures. There are as many
cultures as there are families. Values, our materialism and our
character, our socio-economic existence, are the two things that
concern our philosophy that determines our survival.
A person's values is
his search to survive and to be good, but will also as a moral person
follow the principles of, 'The Moral Code,' by not infringing on the
rights of others as they seek their values.
We have two distinct
issues; one is to seek our values that are tangible and
intangible things. Two is moral behavior to do what is right, where
there is no need to do anything, or what not to do. Example:
'do not steal;' means you take no such action against other
people. To be moral is to take no action against the survival
needs of others. Everyone has the right to seek their values,
education, and work, to be a success and to seek human happiness
without infringement on our need to survive. They have a moral
right to what they earn, all of it! Taxation is immoral and the
prime cause of poverty, crime, and war.
Then the term,
'Moral Values,' are actually two unrelated issues, not equivalents,
as they would have you believe. Morals are principles of
behavior and Values are things we need to survive. These are the
terms the ethicists, theocrats, socialists and fascists do not want
defined. The ethicists are academic tools for the theocrats and
the socialists. And the ethicists have done their work well
when they take two terms like moral and values to have them equalized
perceptively not analytically.
Morals are principles of mental behavior of which to be right
requires no physical action and Values are things that require
consistent mental and physical action to survive. When Values
become Moral issues or Morals become Value issues then slavery is
moral. If you do not believe in slavery (self sacrifice -
altruism) then the term 'Moral Value' is an oxymoron and ethics is
dead and when that happens, so too are theocracies and socialist
states. If you want peace get rid of socialism and theocratic
ideologies, that is your salvation on earth.
Remember if you must take any phisical action to
be moral then your leaders, theocratic and sociallists have a claim
on your values (namely wealth) it is back to serfdom and you will no
longer be free.
