Does the existence of hypocrisy (Inconsistency) negate the existence of morals and ethics into non-existence?

the equality of death, negates the difference of morals and ethics
This 'hypocrisy' inevitably negates.Originally Posted by Mr Hyde
Can you explain that statement?
So by understanding that wouldn't this put morals and ethics as not existing?

by dying, whatever life we led is negated
if you were virtious in life you are still as dead as a unvirtious person
if your into ethic and moral philosophy, Aristotle's nicomachean ethics has some intresting stuff
Agreed.
I've read nicomachean ethics. Infact I've read just about every book on ethics and morals as such a subject is my specialty.if your into ethic and moral philosophy, Aristotle's nicomachean ethics has some intresting stuff
Of course the nihilist in me describes morality and ethics as fictions used to control others into bondage where beyond a fictional narrative both morals or ethics don't exist at all in actuality.
Physical sexual rape is wrong. You should never go against someone's will like that.
Classist rape of individuals mentally and physically through the means of poverty,lower incomes,segregation and forced class based confinements is perfectly legal or economical.
Through the status quo it is perfectly legal, economical, and right to hold individuals to a classist or societal idealistic standard even when a large part of the time you must go against people's will in order to make profit.

The theory of Karma has a different thing to say, for what we do in this life does not end up with death, and of course the seeds of Karma in this life will germinate into the kinds of life one will have in another birth.
Karma shapes the course of everything in life.
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
i'm pretty sure karma is directed towards this life, not our future births. its a concept/tool used to straighten out the often times frustrated ego
What does karma have to do with this topic?

As without "morals and ethics" societies disintegrate, they either react to hypocricy/inconsistency or...

bottom line: Morals, customs, ethics are the connecting tissue of any society (hence they differ, as societies do, and it's hypocritical for one society to try to impose their values onto another) and as such essential, even in a society of cannibals!
You have, as you write, already formed your opinion on what life is, falling victim to your own "nihilist" side.
Agreed, there is darkness all around, but yourself, a society on its own, still have to survive: Finding your private "lightswitch" is the only way.
It is the connecting tissue of any society you say.........bottom line: Morals, customs, ethics are the connecting tissue of any society (hence they differ, as societies do, and it's hypocritical for one society to try to impose their values onto another) and as such essential, even in a society of cannibals!
That's funny I always thought the connecting tissue of society was inequality,blackmail,violence and competition where morals or ethics are just fictional masks people with privilege masquerade behind in order to cover up their participation in such acts as if to give off the appearance that their own hands are clean.
Morality and ethics to me is classic double speak. ( Do as I say, not as I act.)
I'm not a victim. I have accepted the cruelty and hypocrisy of humanity for what it is instead of hiding behind pretensious ideals describing them to be real when clearly they are not.You have, as you write, already formed your opinion on what life is, falling victim to your own "nihilist" side.
When clearly human cruelty and control is the dominant feature of man amongst man instead of brotherly morality.
Yes society does survive. On inequality, violence, blackmail, double speak,competition and malice.Agreed, there is darkness all around, but yourself, a society on its own, still have to survive: Finding your private "lightswitch" is the only way.

If you see society through this lens of pessimism and then say you've accepted all these things, while ignoring/denying their opposites that undoubtedly also exist, then you have jumped into the trench of nihilism--which is like choosing to enjoy the guts of a fish rather than the filets
whats wrong with competition. only people who cant compete complain about competing
If you can't compete with a man in a debate of philosophy attack the definition of his philosophy.
( Attack his personal character.)
(How original.)
Those dam impure nihilists and pessimists. The scurge and scum of humanity.
