So feeling a particular notion of philisophical exploration lately and being of an instrospective nature I have come accross a question I thought I would share.

What is the highest example of morality?

Is it sacrifice?
Is it the pure love of a parent for a child?

What constitutes a pure example of morality in it's highest form?

I realize this can be a farcicle question in some respects. But the answers can be telling about the people who give them.

so there is no such thing as moral act? You can only have a pattern of morality?

What about evil?

We will all aknowledge there are evil acts in the world. Can a single act of not be judged by the standard of right and be found to be an example of moral action?

What about evil? And who defines the standard of right? The culture? Something internal?

You did not ask about moral acts; you asked for the highest example of morality. If you want the highest example of a moral act, I would say that it would be doing what you personally know is right in the face of overwhelming opposition.

I would think an act is a good exple of principle. A moral act an example of morality and an evil act vice versa.

So for you the example would be sticking to an internal morality, rather than the external standard?

like i said the answers say alot about the people giving them.
