More of the same...

I haven't posted for a while - I've been so busy I haven't found much time to write down my thoughts on these subjects. Probably more of the same, but I see the fallout from moral relativism everywhere. Once your eyes have been opened to what is going on, it is scary some times seeing the direction human culture is headed towards. Anyway here goes with a rant I wrote on waking...

There will always be people trying to justify why it's OK to be selfish - why it's OK not to be altruistic - why it is OK to enjoy your life at the expense of other people, animals or the planet. I think the new craze for moral (or perhaps more accurately immoral) relativism in the West is the last thing we need right now. We need more Mother Teresa's, not more books called "The Selfish Gene". We're decadent enough in the industrialised West without attempted justifications for why greed and apathy are acceptable. "Moral relativism" is just another commodity we have assimilated into our rampantly consumer-capitalist culture and are using for our own selfish ends.

Bring back Good and Evil - oh - they never really went away - we just started calling them different things like "opinion" and "just another opinion"...

One of the biggest lies anyone ever told is the statement that we're all equally selfish. Tell that to St. Maximilian Kolbe.
