Also I'm really confused and scared why I feel this way.
That supposedly moral voice, is just a projection of your own, a product of social and cultural conditioning.
The other day a man dropped his wallet, and I was tempted to keep it, but that pesky voice of admonishment telling me not to do it, because it’s wrong reared his head.
But I was able to snuff it out, by reminding myself that it’s just a projection, that there’s nothing right or wrong about anything, that I am master of my own life, not that stupid voice of moral authority. It’s just an illusion, a sound effect, no more authoritative than a fart.
So I took it, bought myself some nice things with the money, and have been happy since.
Go and do the same
I mean seriously, you expect me to believe that the only reason you are not out there murdering, raping and pillaging is because of a crinkly old book that instructs you to do exactly that? That this is what you want to do? That tells me more about your character than you likely wished to reveal.
