A weird thought provoked my idle brain today for a moment- Duality of matter. A morally sound person can differentiate good from bad, truth from lie, moral from immoral, black from white,hot from cold, congruence and incongruity. So someone who hasn't been exposed to morality of thought or the fundamental and metaphoric 'other side of the coin', will always consider himself to be morally perfect. Someone who has never seen truth will assume the lie to be the truth, someone who has been shown wrong to be right will always think wrong is the right way. The banality of this thought is as profound as the air we breathe, yet is an enlightening thought to ponder.
The ignorance of what lies yonder engenders assumption of absence of duality making matter axiomatic and absolute. Of course, I am not trying to implant morality and truthfulness by imposing as the moral police or a bigoted imbecile. I am just intrigued by its influence on our mundanity.

I for one believe no one can be perfectly morally sound.
Because there is no absolute good or absolute bad, ever.
I know what you mean. I meant about any one matter at hand. Not an individual as whole.
Reminded me of the theory of moral relativism, which i believe is the best fit theory for today : that there is no standard in this universe by which one can measure morality.
Nice post!
