Morality, Perception and Moral Perception: Lost in Translation

Perception and morality or moral perception? Living in a world of billion thinking minds would agree to my SUSPICION about chaos being a result of contradicting perceptions.

Morality sets a tone of what is accepted and what is not in a world primarily conditioned to follow rules for order. This has reduced us into believing that what they say is TRUE and what we believe is NOT thus, taking our natural divine rights to establish our own identity.

The pro-Socratic  world used to believe that the earth is flat and that on the extreme edge of it is an abysmal pit of no return. Ancient explorers were trapped into this belief missing the abundance waiting for them to be discovered. Not until the likes of Aristotle contradicted the old belief and later on proved by known great explorers like Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan.

Morality per se is not BAD but not guaranteed as GOOD because it is a product of collective perceptions with historical and philosophical basis that has been established and accepted through time either NATURALLY or by FORCE. It has become a part of consciousness to religious,racial and ethnic groups.

A bent standard of morality is not REALLY defined by non-conformity. It is a perception produced by poor judgement, disrespect and..(worse..) COERCION.
