1/3 Do we have a moral obligation to care for others? To what extent?
as in are you morally obligated to listen to this entire album? absolutely

#no lol nobody has a moral obligation to do shit#the concept of universal morality is crack anyway#you can PERSONALLY have morals that you believe should be standardised and/or that you view as obligating you to stick to certain actions#that’s the actual definition of the term & everyone’s gonna have them on some level it comes with existing and having a point of view#but whenever someone says ‘good person’/‘bad person’/‘decent person’ that’s never ever going to be an objective pronouncement#it’s always in relation to their own principles and no ones are the exact same. there’s only a such thing as#the level of difference we can tolerate between our own and other peoples#so trying to conform to any ‘golden standard’ of acceptable or unacceptable. proper or improper. unproblematic or problematic#is ultimately only going to work in your own eyes. theres no secret intrinsic way to be Objectively Accepted by everyone you meet#like its common to say that you Should care for other people because we’re reliant on each other species wise but#it’s patently obvious you don’t *have* to. cough cough jeff bezos and every other 1% fuck#if you’re asking what i think personally honestly my sense is ironically pretty much what it says on this album cover#i’m not obligated to be compassionate (no one is) but i will#not to be a savior or to assert some high ground of ‘good’ through acts i’m too tired for that shit. catholicism and all can go burn#all i want is just to make this bitch of an earth an easier place to live in#we’re all gonna die. might as well be kind and go down kicking and clawing to see shit improve even in the smallest ways
