I don't like to dwell on morality. There is a time and a place to focus on developing empathy and recognition of consequences. But amongst adults there is no way to enforce a should except through a justice system. I find moral comparisons odious. The effort that has been put into spelling out what act has the greatest moral value in any conceivable circumstance is a waste. Behavior so much anticipated and prescribed is no longer worth living. I say screw it. Trust yourself, be yourself and go on assessing how it all feels. Empathy will lead you to avoid harming others without encumbering you with a manual or keeping you busy with mental calculations and thus rendering you not present in the moment. Let others seek to win medals for exceptional goodness. Just don't look for any from me, I've got a life to live here and you're wasting my time.*
