Developing systems of morality, outside of religious influence.
#4
RE: Developing systems of morality, outside of religious influence.
I feel like I'm repeating Rob.

I have no specific system. I'd say that most of my ethics would come from the society I live in (most of them implanted in my youth) and my personal position to do the least amount of harm, to myself and others.

Being an addict (sober for now) I've certainly harmed myself and others. So I haven't always succeeded. That does not mean that I can't try each day. 

When my ethics conflict with others is when it can get tricky. My rights/ethics often need to stop where their nose starts.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
