Amoral

Here's something I just cannot stop laughing at since I first heard it from Fr Wilson, the Principal and professor of Moral Philosophy. In his class test he asked the Brothers to write, in one sentence, the meaning of a couple of key words in Ethics. One of them was 'amoral' and here one of the best answers he received:
amoral = the moral actions of animals is called amoral.
Perhaps this is the reason, some are heard complaining that morality has gone to the dogs!

  1. This really dredged out a laugh from me. I was so serious and it was such an unexpected and completely original line! :) Please do thank the brother.
