My Moral Code

The question of what one should or should not do is an interesting question. It plays a big role in everyone's lives. You know how the little kid wonders if he should steal some candy and how the adult wonders if he should cheat on his wife. The truth of the matter is that no set of rules you set down for yourself will be a good decision in the future. The key is being well attuned to your environment and using improvisation from there. Say you are in the forest and have never been there before, you say "the best thing I can do is look for huckleberries because they are a good source of nutrition" then go and look for them. The problem is that you did not take the time to see if the forest you are in is the kind that supports them, the only reason you have to look for them is a rule you forced on yourself. The same goes for everything else.  Say you are poor and don't steal food because it is against the law then you have just isolated yourself from your own needs to uphold some abstract rule.

Improvisation is affective because there are so many situations and so many different options you could never decide by coming up with a bunch of ideas. If you know your situation then you know how to act. What you really need to know is how to know your situation. In order to do that what you need to do is get rid all the things that influence your experience. Some of the things that do this are emotions, the media, sex, violence, beliefs, video games, junk food, group think and civilization. After that all that will be left is your very own true and pure experience.

It is very important to know that no matter what you are doing there is an endless amount  of moves you can make and all of them make sense from different perspectives. It is your outlook  on the world that makes the difference. Some of these outlooks are optimism,. realism, idealism, pacifism, consumerism and capitalism. There are just so many outlooks that there is no way you could be all of them. Not only that but all these outlooks are different in different situations. For example being optimistic as a person is totally different from being a part of an optimistic movement. If you act according to one of them then you isolate yourself from your reality and if you consider all of them you could spend up to the rest of your life trying to make a simple decision. So this brings up the question of how do you act?

In order to do so you'll need an entirely different way of running your life on every level. What you need to do is stop viewing the world in outlooks. After that you can put any mind state into your head at any time. If you personally are in need of optimism then you can create it.  The same goes for the external if you don't have a permanent mind state that you live by then you can understand them from a neutral perspective. With that knowledge you can inflict these states of mind on others.

To go back to the moral code, after you do this then you can make the right decision at the right time. Just trust your judgment. Most people don't and find them selves adhering to others. The problem with this is the external world at this time only wants to suppress your common sense. It happens all the time.                                     
My conclusion is that although you can come up with as many rules you want you'd be better  of if you didn't.  Anyone can do that, what most people don't or can't do is connect themselves with the world enough to know what needs to be done. That is the secret and the key.
