RE: What is Morally Right is What Doesn't Cause Harm to Other Beings

in #philosophy6 years ago (edited)

"What is wrong? Wrong is what causes harm to other beings. Anything that doesn't cause harm is automatically right because no one is being negatively affected." - but how can you possibly know that your 'right' actions do not cause harm to other beings? You can't. The best intentions are only what they are: intentions. What's good to one being is bad for another being. Yin and Yang as Chinese would say. From perspective there are no right or wrong actions. These are just actions, flows inside some environment restricted by boundaries.

Sort:  

Intentions aren't what this is about. Actions happen, that's what this is about. Intentions with no action doesn't do anything. The action is what matters.

Thanks for bringing this interesting topic up for discussion. How boring would the wold be if everyone had the same opinion.
