Why should a description of societal norms take into account individuality? Apples and oranges, it isn't about simplicity.AceOfBlades wrote:Amoral is a term used by society to describe individuals who live by different morals than usual, along with those who act against their own morals that may indeed be similar to commonly held morals of society. This is because society is too simple, for better or worse, to understand that it's own idea of right and wrong isn't necessarily the only valid, universal truth that could ever possibly exist. Society fails to consider or care if there may be other moral systems that exist, because how could they be valid if they contradict society's morals?
