Also, when I say below, value in this culture is not readily
understood or discussed, I'm also including morals, but are morals the
ranking aspect of value decisions? We value, or in other words, we like
this or don't like this, and that is valuing. Do morals step in when we
rank? Such as the likes are categorized here, and the dislikes are
here, therefore the valuing process is over, but at the same time the
moral process of grouping or categorizing has taken place as well, is
this how valuing and moral(ing) go hand and hand?
I was discussing how morals seem to ground valuing, but I'm not
sure this is precise enough of a statement. This kind of statement
might be projecting morals to mean a good and bad, right and wrong kind
of categorizing, grouping, or ranking, which is not necessarily what I'm
trying to say. Good morals seem to be more in tune with values that
'are a part of nature', in other words, values that try for 'being one
with nature', or also 'one with what is good'.
Thus, being moral is being what we/I value. If we/I value something,
but can't seem to fit it into our/my, Way/Life/Existence, then the liked
is not settled with me/us. Thus, what is valued is moral if
completed/categorized/grouped/ranked as 'who I am' or 'what reality is'.
I'm not yet very clearly expressing what I'm intuiting, but this seems
close.
thoughts?
