Not sure I follow that...
Yeah, and remember, my opinion isn't aimed at any actual individual, it's merely something I observe
and propose as true. I mean no insult in my remarks and offer no offence.
I meant that by personally -or collectively, when a group decides to 'brand' another, usually-opposite
-in-their-conduct group, it's assumed that all the members of the opposite group will behave and think
in a particular way and usually deemed a negative type of behavior.
An example might be that a soldier in a War may become terrified and decide to desert, whilst a soldier
in the opposing side may do the same. They are the same and different in the eye of an observer.
Both might be classed as cowards and yet, they're on opposing sides.
Between them, one is white, one is black. One is delusional and one is practical. One of them hates what
is perceived as evil and the other sees the world in a moral-flux.
Is it relevant which qualities belong to which?
Categorising individuals is difficult because of the 'add-ons' that comes with placing them under a title that
generically describes the group.
I hope that makes sense?
Quote:...As for the example You gave, father stealing from a closed drug store to help His child,
firstly, that would not happen in what I work towards. Needed medicines will be freely
available at all times.
Secondly, if We presume there is a medicine hoarder and somehow (S)He is the only supply
of a vital medicine, and the father steals it, the case will be examined by Those who care
and the father dealt with any Ethical way Those who care choose.
Maybe They will grasp the life/death issue, the love for the child, the desperation, and such,
and decide there is no benefit to creating "punishment."
Yes, People do things - but in virtually ALL cases, They have a MOTIVATION to do them.
The guy-drug-store example was offered to provide a morality conundrum, the age-old agreed rules
of a group were being broken by an individual in a cause that the majority of that group would condone.
I understand the noble proposal that medication would be freely available and I'd be alarmed to believe
that current life-saving drugs were held back for reasons of cruelty or maliciousness.
There are many reasons that don't involve emotional decision-making and I -too, would like to see a
world where everyone looks to a higher standard. Things just sometimes happen!
I don't have the answers or even think I'm anywhere near resolving how this ball works, it took me
almost sixty-years to realise that! But the one-thing I did learn is that people are different and hold
their own agendas, all we can do is steer our own ship and watch for collisions.
Oh... and that money is the God of choice for many.
