Don't confuse Morality with Emotions

Being offended doesn't mean you're a moral person...

Being overly emotional doesn't mean when you feel other's pain you'll actually do anything to help them...

Having moral values means different things to different people, but we can all agree they're the basis of what a good society should stand upon, should be built on - moral values should be the foundations on which societies grow and there's no doubt about that.

Is morality relative?

Relative: (of a term, name, etc.) depending for significance upon something else.

Yes, morality is relative.

Can a bad person have their own moral values?

Maybe... But not everything a bad person believes can be called 'morals'.

Why not?

Because if something is bad for an individual or the society, it by definition can't be moral.

Moral: concerned with the principles of right and wrong behaviour.

So, when a person says they're offended because something wasn't PC...are they highly moral or just overly sensitive and emotional?

Surely, the latter is the correct answer!

PC culture has made us forget what real morality is and made us believe that just because an individual or a group gets offended by something it is automatically morally repugnant.

Yes, it matters how you say it as much as it matters what you say, but you should never forget about the definitions of words before using them incorrectly.

No, not everything is supposed to be censored just because it might hurt someone's feelings. If we don't do something that needs to be done (or in some cases say what needs to be said) - no matter how hard we try we're, in fact 'being amoral... Because actions speak louder than words and if you don't help people with your actions...empty words are worth absolutely nothing and YOU know it.

So please, the next time you get offended by something frivolously insignificant, just walk/scroll/move right pass that...because you've got much larger fish to fry and actually have a chance at helping out people who need your help - that's the way you show your moral fiber!
