Ever heard of Maslow? He made this pyramid/hierarchy of human needs. Though this is nothing new I think about it often in cases like this. Basically the biggest human needs like food, water, sex, sleep, etc. come first and when u have those needs more or less in check u can go higher. Like need for safety, friendship, family, confidence, self-esteem and on the very top u have creativity, moral, etc.
To round things up …. U can’t moralise if you are hungry. Makes sense right? If you are hungry all you think about is food and don’t really give a damn about other stuff or people. I highly doubt I’d be writing poetry if I was starving for days.
The thing about morals is they can be very helpful in the eyes of society … they keep us in check but let’s turn the coin a bit … they are also one hack of a chain round your neck. And they keep on adding up and up and up. We got to a point where we can’t even say certain words because it is not moral to use them no more. I mean even you had to “excuse yourself” for stating your opinion on the subject. Did we get to sensitive or are our azzes just to full of food, water, sex and sleep … so all that is left is to moralise? :)
Do I think sport fishing is a bit stupid? Yes. But I also find going to the gym stupid – but I go regularly. :) Wouldn’t it be just better if I went in the woods and idk … chop wood? Two fly’s at once. Have wood and exercise. But there is no need. Lots of needs were left out and all there is left is doing stuff for fun fun fun. :)
Great post. Followed and upvoted.
