Moral freaks

I talk to so many people who claim to have values and morals. Some of them have even coined a new term called “Moral IQ” (Oh God! I’ll also coin new terms: “loafer IQ”, “freedom IQ”, “enjoyment IQ”). Worst of all, they take pride in holding family values, morals and anything that bars them from enjoying life. They invent their own morals or inherit them from the society. Wherever they get these values or morals from, one thing is sure, they don’t lead them anywhere. People shackle themselves and whine throughout their lives that they cannot enjoy life. And somehow if they do enjoy it, they feel guilty because of such self proclaimed values. Values don’t exist, but are falsely invented. How can a non-existing concept define their existence? How can they even think of flying in a cage of morals and values?

The real joy lies in freedom. The real love is the self love. If you cannot love yourself, you cannot love anyone. If you cannot love yourself, no one can love you either. And if you do love yourself, you won’t take away your freedom, you will give yourself plenty of joy that will overflow to provide joy outside. You cannot provide happiness outside, if you are not happy from inside. If you do something from someone’s happiness but that doesn’t give you happiness, then that’s not self love, that’s not even love either. That’s a sacrifice. Someday, that feeling of sacrifice will be replaced by regret.

I think fear is the mother of morality. Some people are too afraid to let themselves fly, to let them break the shackles of society and be free. This fear makes them invent a cage, a protective shell of morals. It takes courage to be free, happy and joyous. Most people lack this courage.

To me, there’s no moral phenomenon, only moral interpretation of a phenomenon. You can blame happy people for being immoral; you can blame free and joyous people for having no values. But in the end, you don’t get anything out of this.
