Morality

I am confused???

What is Morality?
As per Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosphy

The term “morality” can be used either

1. descriptively to refer to a code of conduct put forward by a society or,
a. some other group, such as a religion, or
b. accepted by an individual for her own behavior or

2. normatively to refer to a code of conduct that, given specified conditions, would be put forward by all rational persons.

As per Wikipedia:

Morality refers to the concept of human ethics which pertains to matters of good & evil— also referred to as "right or wrong", used within three contexts: individual conscience; systems of principles and judgments — sometimes called moral values —shared within a cultutal, religious, secular, humanist, or philosophical community; and codes of behavior or conduct morality.
Personal morality defines and distinguishes among right and wrong intentions, motivations or actions, as these have been learned, engendered, or otherwise developed within each individual.

All these definitions confuse me...

Coz as per me Morality is as simple as the actions which are acceptable to you and the effect. The effect could be a single person, crowd or community.

I feel like truth, morality is also a virtue which is dependent on circumstances.

Many donot agree with me but then I have my belief and have not come across any reason to change it.

But life does throw you in situations which make you think or rethink you lifes beliefs..

Guess I am going through one such phase.

Hope it passes without causing any distructon to people around me...

I Just Hope!!!

My definition: Morality is something which you can follow without any guilt. It defines actions which you can commit and dont regret later.

morality is something that stands by you (or even viceversa) when have to make your own stand, when you have stand on your own two feet firm and strong.

I agree with you dreamer. Definitions / concepts are relative to each one.... if we just ensure that we do what our heart desires with our harming anyone, its all GOOD!
