What Happens When You Abandon All Morality?
Have you ever wondered what would happen if we just threw morality out the window?
Like, really just let it all go? Like there is nothing âbadâ and everyone could do whatever they wanted.
Chaos, right?
But alsoâŚkind of fascinating.
Morality is the distinction between right and wrong, or good and bad behavior. Think of it as doing the right thing.
What would a world without morality even look like?
Lucky for you, Iâve imagined it for you in a story that pits the ultimate forces of light and darkness against each other.
And let me tell youâitâs epic.
Virtues vs. sins, humanityâs inner struggles, and a touch of philosophy? Yeah, itâs all here.
In this wild exploration, virtues battle monstrous killer monkeys representing the seven deadly sins.
Get ready for an unforgettable cinematic journey that will not only captivate you but also spark thought-provoking ideas!

The Seven Deadly Sins Unleashed
Okay, letâs talk about the sins. Youâve heard of them: Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth. Theyâre like humanityâs bad habits on steroids.
But in this story, theyâre not just abstract ideas but brought to life as Killer Monkeys.
Yep, you read that right: ferocious, larger-than-life monkeys that embody each sin in terrifying and chaotic ways.
The battle between the 7 heavenly virtues vs. the 7 deadly sins isnât just symbolic here; itâs a full-on war.
And honestly, I canât take full credit for that idea; it echoes something called the Killer Ape Hypothesis (fancy, I know), which suggests that our primal instincts for violence and competition shaped human evolution.
In my story, those primal instincts are on full displayâitâs chaotic, itâs messy, and itâs oh-so-human.
So why are the seven deadly sins so destructive? They amplify our worst instincts: selfishness, greed, indulgence, and anger. And when theyâre left unchecked, itâs like unleashing a wild animal (or, in this case, seven wild monkeys) that wreaks havoc everywhere.
Virtues: The Forces of Light
On the flip side, we have the virtues: Humility, Charity, Temperance, Gratitude, Chastity, Patience, and Diligence.
These arenât just the boring, âbe goodâ ideas you might think ofâin my story, theyâre meant to represent angelic warriors with glowing weapons, fighting against the chaos.
Now full disclosure, I do not identify as a Christian, nor is this story a representaion of their beliefs.
I actually have a crazy past with Christianity, if you havenât heard. I have another episode called âGod is Dead.â You might want to check out after this one. ( or Click Here)
AnywayâŚ
The story of the 7 heavenly virtues vs. the 7 deadly sins isnât just an epic showdown; itâs a reflection of our daily personal battles.
Every day, we are confronted with scenarios where we have to choose between good or bad. And sometimes those choices arenât easy.
And letâs be honestâsometimes, letting the âsinsâ win is easier.
But this story shows us why fighting to do whatâs right is sometimes better than the chaotic consequences.
The Philosophical Dilemma of Morality
Now, hereâs the big question: What is morality, and why does it matter?
Letâs break it down.
Morality can mean different things depending on who you ask. You might call it âethics,â âprinciples,â or simply âdoing the right thing.â
On the flip side, the absence of morality could be described as âchaos,â âselfishness,â or âanarchy.â Basically, itâs the invisible rulebook that keeps us from turning on each other and becoming Killer Monkeys.
Hereâs where it gets interestingâŚ
Thereâs this theory called the Killer Ape Hypothesis (remember those monkeys?) that suggests morality evolved to counteract our violent tendencies.
Basically, without morality, weâd all be swinging from trees and stealing each otherâs bananas. đđđ
But morality isnât just about survival; to me, itâs about balance.
In my story, when morality is abandoned, chaos reigns. But when virtues rise, thereâs harmony.
Here are some questions to contemplate:
- Is morality some divine truth handed down from the heavens?
- Or is it just a fancy way of keeping us from tearing each other apart?
- Are our moral choices selfless, or are they just another way to keep our egos intact?
Takeaway: Even if morality is a construct, itâs a pretty useful one. Without it, weâd be unstoppable Killer Monkeys⌠but not in a good way.
Lessons We Can Take Away
Look, my story is dramatic (weâre talking fire, battles, and angelic light shows), but it has some real-life takeaways:
- Self-Reflection Is Crucial: We all have flaws, and thatâs okay. What matters is taking the time to recognize them.
- Balance Is Key: No oneâs perfect. The goal isnât to eliminate every viceâitâs to find balance.
- Virtues Take Practice: Being patient or humble doesnât happen overnight. Itâs like a muscle you have to train.
- Morality Is Personal: Sure, society gives us a framework, but your moral compass is yours alone.
The Inspiration Behind the Story
If youâre wondering how I dreamed up this wild ride, hereâs the backstory. I was deep into Human Design, which introduced me to the idea of âKiller Monkeys.â
Ra Uru Hu, the founder of Human Design, used this concept to describe humanityâs untamed, primal instincts. You can check out more about Ra and his ideas here.
At the same time, my background in Christianity and Catholicism kept nudging me.
The seven deadly sins and virtues have always been fascinating to meâso why not mash up Human Design, theology, and philosophy into one epic story?
And voila! This piece was born: part thought experiment, part action movie.
