Religious moral and ordinary moral
Like I have written in my text about justice, forgiving evil deeds and admiring martyrdom as a moral thing support evil by refusing to punish it and punish good by sacrificing it for the sake of the not-so-good. So martyrdom and forgiveness destroy moral. This is so in ordinary human life.
How come then maybe all the religions support these despisable things, saying that a God or a true master would be merciful and sacrifice oneself for the sake of all? That is the case of a person who is capable of much more than what we ordinary humans are capable of. Such a person can take a humans being, either good or evil, and make such an impression that the other one is never the same any more: starting from any material, they have ended up in an end result which looks like their own handiwork and not like what it was before: good or evil in the ordinary sense. So it no longer matters what things used to be like, one can be forgiving. Alsdo s9ince the evil cannot threaten the most powerful ones, there is no need to protect oneself so much via punishing the evil ones.
In a group it is on the responsibility of the most able ones to work for the common good all that they can. So in a sense they need to sacrifice themselves - because noone else can do it for them. But such sacrifices are according to the nature of pack animals, of living beings. They are not the sacrificing of the good for the evil which I ban. In ordinary life it is the evil ones who should sacrifice themselves in order to pay back what they have received from others.
Another difference is that of a state of mind versus things accomplished, things to do. Forgiveness and compassion, even sacrifices create a state of mind which is good to have. Among other things it is sensiticve and like giving up one's bad habits, so resulting in a good capacity in anything and in freidnly peaceful social relationships, being so a very good advice for anyone to follow. But what to do whit such a capacity. Feelings and understanding tell. Tey tell that we must guard moral, support good and resist evil - according to our own abilities and not as if we were gods of some sort. So we cannot forgive as much and we cannot sacrifice as much. Unless we are evil and need to pay back what we have done.
