[Discussion] What would you do if you could get away with it?

[Yubel]

People will do anything if they think they can get away with it. The only reason religion was invented was so people believed their actions have consequences by a higher power which would deter them from doing crime. In reality, nothing is good or bad but it was necessary to spread stories about God and morality when civilization was created.

When a bad situation befalls a person or someone does something to them and they can't get revenge, they comfort themselves with the idea that karma will do their dirty work or God will punish them or try their best to make the other person feel guilty. It doesn't feel good to be bad because our fail-safe programming had us define good and bad.

Society may be restrained by their morals but I'm not, good or bad means nothing to me.
There is only what I want and how I will get it.

Is that so

I'd copy any kind of global information that revolves around the search for alien life. Not the green-men conspiracy stuff, only the scientific stuff that may be hidden by the governments.

Here we go. Staying out of this one.

Being moral is optional but to gain what you want you have to live and work with other humans and it requires trust. Setting examples that you are not an immoral opportunist **** helps to attract them. That might benefit you in long term. In general when humans are victims of other's immoral acts it hurts them and they grow strong resentment to such people. Also for a mental sanity, when you are victim of another's immoral act you tend to grieve but might find comfort in a thought at least you were not such a person though you might wisely just think that you were just in a weaker position...

Flawed logic.

 

[Deadlift]

I don't actually believe what you say about morals meaning nothing to you. Everyone lives according to a set of moral values and moral duties, it's actually part of the human nature.
If you can't give an explanation for the origin of these morals is obviously another thing

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

food for thought: what happens when you achieve what you want? then what?

its a timeless saying but the journey really is more important than the destination in life, the journey determines how things will unfold when you reach the destination. good and bad arent set facts but theyre very important to know. you screw over a lot of people to get to where you want, then a lot of people will try to bring your downfall, its natural cause and effect more than karma. all im saying is when all is said and done youd rather have a list of allies from not being completely selfish, than a list of enemies from being selfish. thats all ill say on the matter

OT: its hard answering this honestly without seeming like a terrible person. i tried but..

Unfortunately where I'm headed, I do have to work with others to get what I want but I'm not afraid of being bad and stepping over others if it means reaching my goal. My morality is flexible and can adapt to any situation.

One things certain, I wouldn't be doing anything extreme that would inflict cause on anyone else like murder or rape.

Since this world runs on money, obviously my broke ass would be stealing from a few banks. That's pretty much my only problem currently. Lack of money and since most of what I want to do requires money, stealing from a bank is my obvious choice.

Tbh I'd probably murder a few people, like some politicians and other corrupt leaders.

lol if I could get away with murder, the only people I would be murdering are those jail inmates that get to breath air in their cells while those lives they took are lost forever.

Other than that, I don't see myself killing anyone.
