Why do we need morals?

[ideologue08]

Neither of those two reasons are adequate though, they do not sufficiently explain why stealing is wrong, it's not very convincing at all.

Adequate to whom? You? You're certainly free to disagree. Certainly convincing enough for me. If stealing is okay then I don't get to bitch when my things are stolen. Same goes for my kids. If you don;t want your things stolen then I'd say that's a pretty compelling explanation as to why it's wrong".

Did you expect me to provide you with an "objective" morality? I've never seen one. Nevertheless, they're adequate to a great many of us, and as a person that does not require morality to be objective and uniformly true for every conceivable person and every conceivable scenario - this doesn't bother me much.

Why do you think that stealing is wrong (if you think that stealing is wrong)?

@Apo, not sure if that was for me, I'm guessing not..since I did mention why we needed them, in my estimation. Just in case, post 12.

For me, stealing feels wrong therefore it is wrong. You can't use logic to conclude that stealing is wrong because it isn't wrong from a rational point of view, neither is cheating or lying etc. I know of a person who doctored his Oxford 1st class degree and then he took in a job in IB in Cyprus. Is he a scam artist? Sure. But why is that immoral, why is that wrong? Logically, that is a rational thing to do. If you want money, and you successfully scam others to get it, that is not "wrong". But it might feel wrong yes. My innate conscious tells me it's wrong, and that's all that matters. Sometimes using the brain does not payoff. Arguing logically doesn't work.
