From where come your morals?

[Kitty Galore]

My family was the blue print, experience is the building.

I seem to have hardwiring anyhow, which often overrules rational thought. I can decide the best thing to do is to step on an insect, because it is suffering and I know it will die. But I literally can't bring myself to do it. My internal morality is overriding my conscious morality or something. I seem to be programmed against causing harm.

Omg. Rob. I totally know what you are talking about, I have done that since I was a child. Mostly I just close my eyes, and think to myself, "I'm sorry little guy." I do the deed. I do it because I want to end it's suffering. I know they don't think and feel like we do, but I have always done that. I could never do it to an animal though, even though it is the right thing to do, I could not bring myself to do it. Only bugs. I'm a hypocrite.
