But isn't it unhealthy to be moral and refrain from doing what everyone else is doing because you think you'll feel guilty? I try not to do shameful things, but when I do shameful things I feel guilty in ways that break my brain apart. While others do far worse things and are respected for them.
Intelligent self consciousness is a mental illness...because we're animals. To evolve morality is to suffer, because it's against our nature. And some have more intense drives than others. For everyone that suffers through empathy for others, there's someone that suffers worse when they can't hurt others or at least use others as means to an end. And you can empathize with those people too. The bad people. And despite what people say, the low down, coldhearted people are respected more in the moment, as they live and do the things they do. People will look at someone that's "good", in an abstract way, and say they're the good, pure ones. But normally it's the ones that betray and cheat and hurt others that are more interesting and that have happier lives. To be strong in body and mind and actions. The culture I belong to is fascinated with those people. To be tough and hardcore and viscious; people envy and admire those qualities in people.
