Dislike Morality

Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.

Oscar Wilde

“Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer”, comes from Niccolò Machiavelli and quoted in The Godfather II. “If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles;”, Sun Tzu. Neat quotes and all, which the Oscar Wilde quote made me think of, but then the thought “how does my body know where it’s at let alone something else”? “Proprioception is the body’s mysterious ability to locate our limbs, even in darkness .”
