Moral Relativity & Karma

If you are completely indifferent it doesn't matter whether you are slave or free, or torturing children or whatever, but as a human, slavery is extremely selfish, have slaves will increase your ego and take you away from the truth and plunge you into suffering. so it is impossible to be completely indifferent while you are human, so you can say that good and evil are absolute from the human point of view

And humans survive.

What traditional morality is really pointing to is simply this: being God-like/selfless.

There is nothing "wrong" with being selfish, but selfishness is self-defeating and creates suffering for yourself and others. So the more selfish you are the more you will suffer. This is karma. It's just like pissing into the wind. Selflessness is pissing with the wind.

Traditional morality tries to codify selflessness with rules, and this of course is not true selflessness because true selflessness must come from consciousness, not rules, which is why some of the most "moral" people are actually the cause of great suffering. True selflessness cannot be aped, it must come from God-consciousness and a genuine surrender of your self. Traditional morality is an attempt to make people selfless by all possible means except the most important one: raising one's consciousness. This is why moral people are usually devils in practice.

The paradox of morality is that to be truly moral you have to realize that nothing is bad or wrong, since everything is relative. This is the discovery of Love.

It is not wrong to be an asshole. But being an asshole has consequences (karma). Which is why the wise strive to not be assholes in the same manner as they avoid sticking their tongue in electrical sockets.

@Leo Gura thank you for explaining this.
