"Awareness is always implicit morality — immorality is not always what one thinks, and to postpone the interior judgment is already to make a moral choice."
Where does cruelty originate? Universal Mechanics proposes that cruelty has its roots in our animal inheritance — the predatory instinct, the hierarchical impulse, the instinct to dominate. These are not evil in themselves within nature — they are the mechanisms of survival.
The problem arises when these instincts are exercised by a conscious being against other conscious beings. Cruelty is the animal instinct mediated by human intelligence — and made worse by it.
"What you choose depends on a philosophy and the man you are."
