The crime and guilt
Lie, exaggerate or misrepresent in a statement to the insurance, not for VAT or not order, download a latest release of Internet, lying, imposts, including falsifying the statement of income, appear, look for the trick, cheat, to get that cole for your children or the grant or assistance. The self-imposed moral limits to which we need to live seems to be seriously damaged. We, the honest, the harmless, peaceful, usually framed, invent, plan, small lies, crimes short, I look around and see people I love that it distorts if you doubt it, breaking the moral, ethical, conviviality solidarity with innocent but harmful irregularities.
We increasingly live in a society where it is illegal everywhere, it is true that bind us rather short, governments increasingly banned, persecuted, threatened, punished, inventing new offenses, either with snuff, with pictures taken without permission, with the music of weddings and parties. But each of us still, daily, without conscience, sometimes unknowingly, petty criminals. Remorse has also disappeared, even at times of reflection, almost no one raises the moral order in which they fit our sins and lies, all find a justification for an alibi. The most common and vile are those that refer to the generality crime, its inevitability, to "if I do, another will come back and, as if the self-respect, that intimate that no advertising or need demonstrations had already died forever. Other justifications do try to give a social and political background, a kind of universal justice, or an inevitability, a "push me to do it, or think we are doing is right, or that our damage is not. Resell our home 20 times what we bought, otherwise we would be doing the first, or we could not make the leap to a new home, or is the market price.
Our scruples have died so far. We find it intolerable that politicians steal and public offices, the earnings of bankers, the machinations of multinationals, which pollutes the environment, shooting a role in the field, who knowingly buy stolen goods, and of course the robber, the terrorist. We do not suspect that everyone, in turn, have an alibi, a reason, a justification in the room, a "society has pushed me," I am returning a wrong or a coup, "" I have no other choice, " "If I do not somebody else will," "I just follow commands." Guilt, guilt, has also disappeared, it has been diluted in a large and shared society, is in the cloud is a fault 2.0.
PS: Look While I write in plural, we, I'm afraid I'm in the game, more than I would have liked to think, I've made excuses, I have betrayed some thought not exceed limits that are hurting me, but I suspect that they happen, forgotten, wrapped, unmarked, buried between the general moral disaster.
