Do you believe morality is objective or subjective

[6ft4]

I get the arguments for it being subjective but something inside of me says it's objective (when applied in relation to your kin at least)(is that a contradiction?)
I will try write a detailed explanation for my reasoning in future but I'd like to get more perspectives

Ultimately it's something that's inconclusive overall. How you view it depends on which way you lean philosophically.

I'm satisfied with my own moral leanings but that's applied case-by-case. I don't think morality can be mind independent, so I'd say I'm more pragmatic when it comes to any moral determination which arises through how I feel at a particular point in time. Of course this can be tweaked to a degree.

I feel with discussions of Modern Morality, it all ends up turning into a purity spiral. I think it is entirely subjective. Most people who argue for the former have slave morality, I'd say.

Well morality is something us humans developed, it was never forced upon us. Respecting others, treating others how you would like to be treated, and not being a total asshole is something we can and should ideally all agree on.

 

[Gilgamesh]

Subjective and relative like many sensory experiences. Most people's morals are shaped by what is deemed "lawfully good" and not what is morally good in any universal sense.

We shaped morals and what is lawfully good as a human collective.

It takes courage & strength to be moral, you have it innately by your mind. In reality, we as humans express our being in part by behavior, that's the reality of our being, our design. When you live a lie, it requires living in a sense of delusion, you can see it in the eyes, the thickness of the skin, even the most psychopathic person who has learned anything in life can easily if he so grasped it willingly could find what right and wrong is. The reality is its not hard to find, its something you do, its something you can define; what stands between the truth and you is your own ego. Once you find it the question will become "I've found what I was searching for, but can I live in accordance with it" or rather "Will I choose by my own free will to live in alignment with it?".
