On Moral Relativism

             Schopenhauer says morality is not discovered but created. And who creates them? Relativism has always bargained the standards of distinguishing right from wrong. Lest you think I agree that morality is absolute, contrariwise, I believe there exist multiculturalism, hence, moral pluralism that rewards one's conscience to choose matters to resist or tolerate. But I prefer otherwise.
             The 'interest principle' delineates what is punishable and what is not. While some feminists in the US think prostitution is sexual work and some mothers think abortion empowers a woman to her reproductive right, given the structure, I opt to condemn its backlash to humanity, that is my own sensitivity to morality. However, I still believe they remain to share the same reason with me. That, I think, gave me a clearer picture of the Natural Law situated in a diverse assumption of 'right', 'good', 'wrong' and so on. Human beings have a way of 'adjusting' or 'altering' substance that satisfies their interest. Should I take it as constructive or should I be bothered? We might be making a better place to live in, but justice becomes superficial and 'right' becomes a distorted description.
             In the Christian context, where God is the judge and where human constantly plead to be forgiven, morality is in prescriptive measures. The Bible directed criteria that even atheists should look into as they allow for human survival, that necessitates harmony. Morality in flesh is:
             "... he whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellow man...who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent." (Psalms 15)
