MORAL CONFLICTS IN YOU

All of us will find moral conflicts. They come from our identification with more than one group, group of people. The smallest group is your family, next group you identify with is you village or town, then you region or country, then your race or whole human kind.
One of the examples of your morality conflicts could be this:
Town needs a new road. Unfortunately for you the road is planed to go through your property. At the end of a day the bigger group forces your family to move away. Your family can claim that wrong and immoral thing was done. All other city people will say to you that it was a right thing to do for the city. Can both sides, both groups be right with their conflicting views of this situation? Well, according to the GSML theory, yes!

Other point of view, and probably right too, might be that morality of a bigger group will always be the right one, and the one that wins. After all, the bigger the group you belong too, the bigger the chance of its survival and yours too. The smaller groups, the subgroups, can be treated as individuals. The same way we analyze the smaller groups we came from, like tribes and villages.

I hope GSML theory explains well morality, and will help you find understanding of where morality comes from, will give you some peace of mind, and ease few dilemmas.
