Not sure why this got removed from 196lemmy..blahaj.zone but it would be real nice if moderation on Lemmy gave you some sort of notification of what you did wrong. Like an automatic DM or something

The only way you can be sure that there is one 'true morality is, "If you don't want it done to you then don't do it to others."

if I kill someone's loved one for some reason maybe for me it is not morally wrong because that person "deserved it" but if they kill someone dear to me can I consider it morally acceptable? definitely not

What?!

No.

Think this through; what’s acceptable behaviour to you may be completely abhorrent to another person.

I wanted to apologize, now I think like you, I changed my mind.

No worries your apology is appreciated.

I’m more impressed that you’ve changed your mind though. That’s the best part about being human.

Okay so I will come and kill your family in their sleep and make you a slave because it is morally acceptable to you.

Have a good day.

Edit: Obviously I'm just teasing, but this is to give you a practical example.

Moral relativism is a great evil in our time.
