Descartes  ·  4071 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What about morals?

But is that no morals? Or is that differing levels of a moral value? For example, I guess I'm opposed to killing somebody, but certain situations can arise where killing someone would be acceptable (I'd kill someone in self-defense, or defending another person, or if they beat me at Super Smash Bros more than twice in a row, etc.)

So does that render my moral stance on killing a person useless? Implying that there is no morality involved at all and it's all relative to the situation? (sorry if I'm not making any sense, I don't understand nihilism that well).
