Default Re: Altruism and Absolute Morality

[ QUOTE ]
I believe that we will find AM if we look at mans life as valuable to him. Additionally, that people are owners of their own life.

[/ QUOTE ]

In a world void of an AM authority I think this is the case. We compromise our own self interest (our own rights) by allowing others into our individual world. It is a trade off don’t you think? A necessary trade off because “no man is an island”.


[ QUOTE ]
Or better topic maybe: To say that there is no absolute morality is to say that someone does not have any rights.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or that someone has complete rights - unlimited rights - might makes right is the only thing stopping one from exercising all of his rights

But, again, we bargain for our own rights and those rights that we value most when we allow others into our individual worlds - whether it be by living in a society or simply entering into a marriage.
