It’s tricky because it’s based on what we think of us virtuous, not some objective standard isn’t it?
I do sales as one career
It’s a high-quality service that creates incredible results for some people and great results for others, and then there are people who have a bad experience. A fair amount. But for some others its the most lifechanging thing ever for them.
I’m not on the service side, just the sales side. I care so much that my leads and clients have great experiences and get results. Its one of the reasons I’m good at sales, but if I were truly moral in my own view, I would tell people that- I would steer certain people away from the service etc. (I already actually do both those things to an extent) I’m concerned virtue scripting is in fact at an impasses with what is always practical or results driven.
While the dream is to have a fully aligned life—with no compromise or ‘selling out’ even slightly to own one’s values and integrity — values and integrity were not always there. We all not there. I certainly am not.
I might not even know how to navigate that. One spiritual teacher said-its not always the right thing to do to take away some else’s pain.
Could having a bad experience ultimately be in their best interest? Could my concern for them morally prevent them from having the results they’re looking for? Where do I draw the line on what is moral? I have people in my life I feel doing the ethical thing would profoundly hurt them or even myself in certain situations. What about when desire opposes morality, when I only have my limited prospective to ascertain? I’m curious how virtue scripting balances with this.
I speak from conception, not experience, since I have not run HERO for exactly this reason.
From my understanding, TWTP had no morality. Wouldn’t virtue scripting massively temper that sub’s ability?
Perhaps I have virtue as inherently opposed to efficacy, practicality, and politics.
