About the Rules & Moderation category (Part 1)

I don’t believe in begrudging

The reason I asked that question is because I kind of don’t morally evaluate people like that. But I know most people do. And I wanted to know, like, “would you treat this person as a murderer”

would you begrudge a murderer

I literally just said I wouldn’t

yeah but every principle has limits

If somebody murdered people for no reason my evaluation of their present character would probably be “this person is probably dangerous to me and I don’t want to be around them” but I don’t believe in, like, evil or punishment

And therefore I don’t, like, believe that person should inherently “suffer for what they did” unless it would cause less murders in the future

well you should start: as i am evil!!

You’re so evil and I hate you so much, Atlas

Similarly, I don’t think I’d sacrifice my life to save other people’s in most cases, even if it would save, like, two or three people, because I do not do the morally best thing at all times

If I can sacrifice myself to save The World. Maybe I can manage that. But like 2 or 3 people- well yeah I also freeze up, but like, if I was given time to think I’d probably preserve myself

I morally disagree with so many movies and shows on the whole “punish those who have done wrongs for justice” thing
