If There is No Sin, How Do I Know Right and Wrong?
Many times we find ourselves questioning right and wrong, many times a day I stop myself and pose the question "is what I'm doing the right thing? Would the Gods want this?" And above all else: "Do I want this?"
While of course morality is a very subjective topic, varying for every situation, and the context behind every situation changing the context, one question still remains, the question which is the talk of this post:
If there is no sin in Triadeism, how do I know right from wrong?
Well, when we look in the Book of Triadeism, we find many interesting notes on the subject of morality; the following can be read in The Book of Triadeism, Section 1:
In true belief, the followers of one or more of the brothers knew that faith would not always be enough, and that consecration onto oneself and that confessions of inner hatred against the beliefs the gods had said must be done, lest the gods lose faith in them.
This has always been one of my favorite quotes from the book, as it shows a much deeper and intimate meaning behind Triadeism theology; that being that morality to the Gods, much like it is to us, is subjective.
The Gods have differing, albeit often not entirely conflicting, perspectives on morality.
Of course depending on who you are, this will change which you believe to follow.
"Do as thou knows is right and good" Was said by the Great Chaos, Dech'Ah'Lah in the Book of Triadeism, and it tells us that the way of life under chaos, is to do as our morality, or conscious, tells us is right, weather against the rules or in agreement of them.
This tells us that what is right is what we know is right; what we know is good, and that nothing else matters.
"Do as so thou are correct" Was stated by the Diligent Order, and his belief is simply to do as so you're always in compliance, so that you will not break any rules, or go against any societal beliefs, even if this is against your morality, you will be compliant.
This signifies the perfection of following Epochal, of entrusting yourself to the rules of society, and not to your own mind.
"Do as thou will" Was declared by the Hateful Death, and his doctrine is simply to do whatever it is you wish, weather moral or immoral, and that what you wish is what is right, more so than what is said by society or by your own morality.
It declares that morality, though can be followed, can also chosen to be ignored, and that desires should be fulfilled, this is what Abbadon declares.
The 3 offer interesting perspectives on life, and ways of which to live it, but of course the final choice is left to you, and what you view as the right way to live life.
No matter which, I would like to remind you the patrons, and the gods, love you dearly, and they wish you well.
Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful rest of your day or night.
