Ethics

I'm concerned with how people's conception about being good can be diversified. Although some might have already heard that each one of us lives through once occurring unique life, we have not seen many to be appreciating such precious uniqueness. Rather, it appears that people's values are too easily converging on several dominant ones, such as wealthier than poorer, material reality than conceptual ideal, brighter than darker, and clearer than obscure. Since the Enlightenment, or probably even before ancient Greece, those who are better endowed with intellectual abilities have bothered themselves telling people that we can be better than what we are now. What irritates me most is their ignorance of power on which they bestow. Regardless of their virtuous intentions, it is their inherent abilities that enable them to speak to people. Insofar as they continue ignoring this fact, their virtuous words would never do justice to the virtue inscribed in their words. This is because being ignorant of their innate gift, they could never think of on what grounds they are qualified to speak to people; to what degrees they can tolerate their disadvantages for others' benefits. Without understanding when and how one's survival can be threatened to terminate, their virtuous words to propagate happier lives than those of now forsake their pursuit of virtue. How come can those who have no idea about their own survival talk about others' well-being? If you wish to take care of others, you need to know to what extent you may be allowed to spend your own resources for the sake of others. Offering care without establishing practical estimation about how much will soon turn out to do more harm to others than good because no one knows nay pursue optimal degree and manner of re-distribution of resources. Class struggles or even warfare between nation states persists.
