One day

One day, out of the blue, life taps me on the shoulder, and tells me to pause. And when I look around I see nothing but beauty. But then I look at the time and get on with whatever I am supposed to do. And it all disappears, as quicly as it had appeared. Reminded me of Leisure by W.H. Davies - What is life if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare.

Absolute morality

Philosophical skepticism is an extreme where no stand is valid. It leaves you in a permanently suspended state. The skepticism I have been thinking about is more a practical one. A skepticism which allows you to take a stand and then defend it. It allows you to do whatever you like. It takes away the burden of right and wrong.

All it says is that because nothing is right, everything is wrong. And because nothing is wrong, everything is right. Any kind of morality is based on assumptions which in turn are based on your choices.

Common sense and acceptable current norms determines the morality of the day. Absolute morality does not exist. Therefore guilt is an emotion of fools.
