You've probably heard from friends or acquaintances the excuse "I'm not ready for this mentally." But what does it mean to be mentally prepared or not ready? For some reason, it is moral, and not some other unpreparedness that most often serves as the reason for refusing to perform any actions, sometimes vital …
Confusion has arisen due to the constant joint use: morality and morality are perceived by many as synonyms. “This is immoral and immoral,” someone exclaims, and the listeners think: “That's how it is! Shame, shame … "Meanwhile, the synonym for" morality "is not" morality ", that is, not an internal attitude to live according to conscience, but" will ", readiness for action. Thus, immoral means weak-willed.
Actions and misconduct
Take, for example, the fact of adultery. He is immoral, but not immoral. Immoral is the willingness to change, that is, the inability to show restraint, deal with feelings or start a new relationship only after the completion of previous ones. It is even easier to remember the differences and, as a result, use words for their intended purpose using the example of the military.
There is an idiom: "The army is demoralized." It is used to describe a state of affairs when soldiers, due to circumstances, significant combat losses or in front of superior enemy forces, lose the ability to act in an organized manner, give up, and sometimes flee. And, again, to the difference between morality and morality: looting, the act itself, is immoral, since it is shameful (shameless) to use the power advantage in order to steal, rob, destroy.
Always ready
Now that the negative values have been considered, it is easy to consider the positive ones. A person sees the goal, a person calculates strength, a person makes a decision. Moral readiness implies that the individual is fully aware of the significance of the intended action and responsibility for it, weighed all the pros and cons and came to the conclusion about the possibility of committing one or another action or enterprise. Morally ready - so we tell ourselves, setting ourselves up for victory, and not just participation.
Although … "morally not ready" can be heard much more often. Simply because the one who wants to do - does without warning. A weak-willed person, on the contrary, tries to somehow justify himself, in this case - with the help of a beautiful phrase.
