Growing up, we are all taught the dos and don’ts of society. We develop our own set of morals while still answering to a larger moral code set up by society. What I mean by this is that we have one set of rules set up by the government and community that tell us that we cannot go around killing people or that stealing is wrong. But throughout life we also develop our own set of guidelines and beliefs that we follow.
All of these beliefs and morals are relative to the culture in which someone is raised and exposed to. For example, we have internalized that stealing is wrong, yet a band of gypsies in Europe see it as something that should be rewarded. Morals and Ethics are all relative. I believe that there are multiple truths. Just because what one person believes is different from your own does not mean it is not true, it is just not what you believe. It’s kind of like religion. We all believe in a different god or gods but I don’t think that makes their reality any less true.
