What is it, does a mans Morality never change or is it always changes?
This is a bit of a trick question and has many perspectives. But what I will already predict is that many will say it never changes because of their association to "religious people" and their subjective morality. But keep in mind that many in religions rarely live what their religion upholds to its highest and central ideals and in fact many religions have made up doctrine in order to "get out of" the obligation to strive to be Moral in everyway -- like Jesus died for my sins and God always forgives me so if I do bad or wrong I am forgiven and still go to heaven etc.
Thoughts?
nathan, if your morality never changes, then why can't you uphold it? Depending on the stimulus, you may do something entirely different than your morality calls for. Lets say you live by saying, I will turn the other cheek if someone hits me. But on the chance that someone tries to hit you, what you will do more than often is either fight or flight? You are looking at morality as a subconscious thing it appears. But how can your morality be the same, if you are always changing? You say you will treat all people with kindness, but if someone does something to you negatively, you fall out with them. You are missing the point. The point is a mans personal morality. If a mans morality never changed, it mean it is permanent in him, and he can do nothing outside of it. Such a man would be a master of themselves, the Good. But this is not the case, very few can maintain themselves in moments of tension.

I believe that morality DOES change as a person evolves. Lifes experiences, lessons learned along the way, clarity and compassion of self and others.
Personally speaking, my morality now at age 52 is basically the same it was when I was a small child. Difference is that today, through "gifts of lessons" in life, that I'm less judgemental, more open-minded, understanding of myself and others more, "mirror" of myself seen in others and events...thus my morality has evolved.
The "turn the other cheek"..."very few can maintain themselves in moments of tension". . . The many groups of that "few" have learned the life skill to RESPOND, not REACT to situations.
You can't always control, change or stop an event. What you do have "control" over is how you address a situation...i.e. respond or react. 'Within that is found the morality.
Morality is in alignment with authentic Love. "What would Love do?".

I think that mans views on morality will change as man grows. I am very good at morality in theory, yet like most others the practice is quite another matter. Thank God for Grace.

Morality never changes. Morality is objective, our perspective is subjective. It is like saying- do we change gravity, or does gravity change us? Morality is a boundary comprised of universal laws. The laws are immutable. Whether one steals chickens in the 12th century or computers in the 21st,
the intent and principle is the same. Man's morality is completely subjective. I cannot see through your eyes, only mine. Our morality evolves as we see more clearly.
