I had a john explain ethics to me when I was a 16 year old prostitute. Ethics is doing the right thing with information, whereas morality is doing what you're told. Like, killing a baby is morally wrong, but if you had a time machine it might be ethical to go back and shoot baby Hitler (terrible example). He ended up coming to my rescue when I was arrested a year or two later, and I got off with no record after breaking into an abandoned historical building, which is a whole other story. He died not long after in what appeared to be suicide. But that explanation has had an impact on me, I don't think I'm a moral person, I'm an ethical person. I take what information I have, for instance, King Kong Theory, and apply it to the choices I make in life. |

Are you saying that you are not a moral person because morality is defined by the society ? or because you feel guilty, you don't see yourself as a "good" person ? (Of course I ask because of KKT)
