Soooo...yeah, morality is simple. Do least harm. Easy as that.

I got so tired with trying the "rules for thee but not for me" approach of every single group to morality that something snapped and I began to follow idea law=moral code. It took years for me to go back to trying to figure out morality.

In the end I gave up lol. We all have to judge ourselves, because the moment we offload figuring it out to anyone else they are gonna bend it so it works for themselves. ^^
