when two heads clash...

morality in one side, should be consider as an essential principles for all humankinds but as one should notice, nowadays moral is being put aside or in some cases, being negotiated. i saw this printed quote on my friend's bedroom window;
"Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something."Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)


i can say that, a man without moral, will be govern by their nature instinct and therefore, will cause harm, either to themself or to others. as we proceed with the next civilisation, albeit, it will be different from the previous, i can say that the basic thing will never change. man is capable to mutate themself to suit the environment, for good or for worst, and this would not change their natural instinct or behaviour as a man.

out of many, one definition of moral that could be achieve from the internet , thanks to wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn is;
concerned with principles of right and wrong or conforming to standards of behavior and character based on those principles; "moral sense"; "a moral scrutiny"; "a moral lesson"; "a moral quandary"; "moral convictions"; "a moral life"

but, as we can see in the current world, to determine whether is something is right or wrong, depends on whose interest get serve and not because it is actualy right or wrong. while my intention is to study, why men go to war or in another perspective, why they create a war, does involve the issue of morality. Machiavelli, as many knows, believe that humans have nothing to lose when they go to war but will eventually gain something if and only if, thay win the war. He even proposed that, for a man to lead a state, nothing should bother him except on how to win a war. Quoted by him;
"A prince should therefore have no other aim or thought, nor take up any other thing for his study but war and it organization and discipline, for that is the only art that is necessary to one who commands."Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince
