Morality

What is the true measure of a morality? Is it how a certain moral ideals benefit the whole society by performing the actions that is good to all? Is it by valuing an individual by its true intrinsic values? Or is morality giving the utmost respect to everyone? Morality is quite unique to an individual, in which one man tends to value one ideal than the other. But to what extent is morality considered as still moral when too much of something is harmful? One can be abused with too much humility yet one can also become a tyrant with too much pride. Yes moderation is the key, the balance of what is good and what is bad. Man cannot be too divine in actions or too evil in deeds. The essence of true morality is the one on how a single ideal affect the mind of a child.
To whatever a certain moral ideal affect the life of a child and how it mold the child’s viewpoint in life. Remember that when a child is thought with one ideal to a much extent the other ideals are shadowed behind the main ideology. Too much kindness will ruin the heart but too much evil can ruin the soul. There is no perfect morality that can be applied to the world Nietzsche’s perception is too egoistic and very discriminating. There is no such thing that a man is above the other not a man below the rest. Kant’s is too impossible to apply. There is no such thing as Utopia, there is no such thing as paradise. The morality of one person can be considered immoral to another.
Moral ethicist are mere men that keeps on dreaming of a society that they wished to be a part of. So what then is the true essence of morality? The essence of true morality is the moderation of the two entity of life. The balance of both good and evil. Remember we are humans and we both have the potential to create and destroy and it is this cycle of kindness and hatred, humility and pride, darkness and light. The eternal dance of the dual forces that balances the universe therefore it could also be considered that to one extent man is good but to another extent he is evil.
