Why do I have any obligation whatsoever to justify, explain, or try to defend my moral decisions to any other person or group of people? I may choose to do so. But why do you think that is not a choice but an obligation?
I would feel comfortable calling that (and related behaviors) a choice, in the sense that you may choose to behave ferally if this behavior feels 'right' to you; and I'd call it fair for others to observe this behavior, gather that you are a feral, or sociopathic individual, and behave accordingly where you are concerned.
Feral creatures are not trusted by ordinary ones, and should hardly be surprised at this, I should think. They will have like creatures to associate with when it suits each of their needs, but trust and the ordinary affections of ordinary creatures will not be theirs.
They will, of course, care little, being feral creatures. |
