In the past couple of weeks I’ve read some writers talking about immoral versus amoral. If you don’t know the difference, pay attention and I’ll explain it to you.
First, immoral, simply put, means not conforming to accepted standards of morality. It is reasonable to say that most folks have committed an immoral act to some degree. Another way of explaining is to point out that immoral people know what morals are, but do what ever they want to do anyway.
Amoral is different from immoral in a major way. Amoral means unconcerned with right or wrong with no moral standards, restraints or principles. People that are amoral are dangerous. Very dangerous.
As I point out again that I am an observer, bear in mind these definitions when you go to the polls to vote. There is no doubt in my mind that one presidential candidate has done some immoral things.
And, one is absolutely amoral.
