Introduction
It has taken thousands of years but we -man- have finally come to believe that we are completely exempt from the laws of nature. ... Through such analysis I will show how God is not necessary to know right from wrong, and how man is still bound by natural laws. ...
The strength is derived from the idea of objective moral standards because it is intuitive that some kind of immutable and fundamental laws bind us, as humans. ... Due to humans bewildered nature, socially subjective morals could never exist because there would be anarchy and no organization to the world. ... It seems as though “what we call our
civilization is largely responsible for our misery, and that we should be much happier if we gave it up and returned to primitive conditions… In whatever way we may define the
concept of civilization, it is a certain fact that all the things with which we seek to protect ourselves against, the threats that emanate from the sources of suffering, are part of that very civilization” (Freud 98). ...
Conclusion
The bottom line is that man’s moral bewilderment is derived from his inability to adhere to natural laws. Once he began attempting to control nature, that was when he also began to experience the negative effects of breaking natural laws.
