Morality.

I've actually wanted to write about something else, but I guess this will do for now.
Lack of motivation are a kick in the nuts with these kind of things, so I've noticed.

Everyone has different views on morality. It varies from country to country, continent to continent and religion to religion. What I've always wondered though is; why did it came to be in the first place? Some would argue that morality is the sole thing that divides us from our best friend, the ape. But I beg to differ. Morality has sprung forth at the same time when control, and thus power did.

How can those things be related, you ask? Morality is just a collection of 'rules' on how to live your life, when control is something completely different. Well, it isn't. Morality is in a sense, gaining control over your own life. Without morality people's lives would be chaos. And we all know how awful chaos can be. So one answer to the question as to why it came to be is taking control of your life. Other answers are, of course possible. But for the sake of me not getting confused and ending up writing complete bullshit, I'll stick with this one answer for now. Now the reason why I beg to differ that morality is the thing that divides us from what we have now and flinging shit towards each other and eating lice off of each others backs is that morality can be replaced. Sure, it's really hard to imagine. How the hell can you replace morality when it's something that has been us since the dawn of time? Well the answer is simple. As with everything that we do in life, from buying groceries to going to the pub with our friends, it's all a part of routine. You get so used to something that you don't really think about it anymore, you just do it.

Morality, has undergone the same treatment. We could've just as easily figured out something completely different from it, and if it worked just as well as morality did into giving one control of his/her own life, we would live by that principle now. That's how easily replaceable it is. It's like drugs, really. If you would like to compare it to that. All you'd have to do is take away our 'drug' morality, let us wallow in our own piss and shit for a while because we have no idea how to live without it, and soon enough if we get offered something that we could use as morality, we'd be on it faster than ever.

Keeping the above in consideration, I know that without any sort of morality you are not able to live a normal life in today's society, so that's why I still have keep some of it to heart. But I wish there was no reason for me to do so.

But having that out of the way, lets continue with the notion that there is no morality anymore, and there has never been a 'thing' to replace it. How would our lives look like then? You know, without all the wallowing in piss and shit, once we actually come to the conclusion that we don't need it to survive. I for one am pretty curious to find that out. The reason being is that the human race wouldn't be held back by things as the 'battle' of what is right and wrong. There is no right or wrong, so why waste time? Even though I said that without morality there would be chaos,  I also believe that without the mental chains of morality our 'inner self' gets free reign. No more right or wrong, no more social codes of conduct. Just you and that gut feeling you get when you feel something. That, in my opinion, is how you're supposed to live.

So how would such a thing work in todays society? Well, it wouldn't. We're already so entwined with morality through religion and routine that only the thought of a moral-less life makes our spine shiver in fear. I say, nuke everything, lets start over and do it right this time. (pun intended)
