Right, Wrong, Morals?

"Nature has no moral imperative."--Luke Dempsey

Nature, in biological context, exists to exist. Or maybe more importantly, to continue to exist. It is survival of the fittest when it comes right down to it.

Animals and plants do not exhibit the "moral compass" that directionally pulls us either right or wrong in our dealings. They wonder not on great issues such as is it right that "I the fox kill you the mouse" or when "We zillion emerald ash borers lay our eggs, you ash tree, will die!" It just happens. There comes with natures actions no sense of right or wrong. Really, it is ALL right. Lacking moral values leaves no act wrong. And no need for remorse, reparations, revenge, regret and other "R" words.

How would humans be if they had no moral imperative as Luke Dempsey stated? I think that we would be circumstantially better in some ways and devastatingly horrible in other ways. Wouldn't our children be stronger if we taught them survival skills and didn't smother them with our fears and doubts? Taught them all how to symbolically "swim" to live, without convincing them about the reasons why they need to learn this? Maybe they could come up with incredible new ideas if we didn't force the old ones down their brains.

Would they kill their neighbor to have their house or wife or treasure? I don't believe that we as humans inherently desire those things. Those are artificially planted by sick minds that are following a strange and twisted "moral compass." Not a compass of good which exists, but the sick-puppy mind, the"Devil" that exists in the cells of our brain.

Because there is no moral compass in nature, what nature shows us is that it does no "wrong." It moves in waves and cycles and continually evolves and changes and adapts to the simple events of existence. It doesn't seek to alter existance, it just "is." We cannot take the leopard out of the leopard or the cardinal out of the cardinal. They just are.

Are we better than that? Or do we destroy more of everything we interact with utilizing the morals and values that we most often time try to force on the ones we encounter? Make the fox eat celery?
