I definitely have to agree with his statement about "how you grow up being a big factor in your morals". However, it still does come down to the choice the individual makes. Then again that doesn't change the answer LIFE will give you in response to the choices you make.
Yeah it's fucked up! The psychology is spot on with the truth!
I don't like how realistic the morality issue is.
I remember growing up watching movies and reading stories about justice always prevailing. So when I became an adult I had to learn the hard way that, that's not how the real world works. I've called the police because I was attacked thinking justice would prevail only to be thrown in cuffs because the other person lied. Being told that it's a "he said she said" scenario so we would both get arrested for disturbing the peace even though I was the one that called. Then while I was locked up for processing there was a woman who was also locked up because she refused to testify against her rapist as she was too scared. The cops in processing, all treated you like you were guilty, even though the law states "innocent until proven otherwise"
Then when I was at work I learned that if you were buddy buddy with the boss it didn't matter that you didn't follow rules. And when you were the one that followed rules if they didn't like you they did everything they could to wear you down. Finally when I tried to get a lawyer I was confronted once again that laws do not benefit the vulnerable. Plus there's a lot of smaller incidences through life that remind me, what truly matters is power and money. If you don't have either of those things then you have to let things go and pick your battles.
TLDR; The reality is, Life is not fair and people who play by the book do not get ahead in life. Keeping a morally righteous attitude or mindset just holds you back.
