Sammi, my dear 😊

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. I wish you knew how much I enjoy reading your insights and views on topics such as this.

Your reflection on culture being a route to morality reminded me of St. Augustine's words :

Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.

I agree with this mode of thinking too :)

Children are indeed innocent. But they are also egocentric. And, at the same time young children are capable of showing concern for the well-being of others, they are also capable to look out for their very own interests ¹. As they grow up, as a natural course of development, they became less egocentric and act more fairly and less biased towards others.

I totally appreciate the rationale "society corrupts", but things are not that clear cut. If the social world is to be blamed for the corruption that exists among humans it should also be praised for its integrity :D

I hope you're having a wonderful day Sammi.
Much love to you always and forever from rainy Portugal.
