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 “bad” and everyone could do whatever they wanted.
Chaos, right?
But also…kind 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, I’ve imagined it for you in a story that pits the ultimate forces of light and darkness against each other.
And let me tell you—it’s epic.
Virtues vs. sins, humanity’s inner struggles, and a touch of philosophy? Yeah, it’s 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, let’s talk about the sins. You’ve heard of them: Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth. They’re like humanity’s bad habits on steroids.
But in this story, they’re 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 isn’t just symbolic here; it’s a full-on war.
And honestly, I can’t 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 display—it’s chaotic, it’s messy, and it’s oh-so-human.
So why are the seven deadly sins so destructive? They amplify our worst instincts: selfishness, greed, indulgence, and anger. And when they’re left unchecked, it’s 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 aren’t just the boring, “be good” ideas you might think of—in my story, they’re 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 haven’t heard. I have another episode called “God is Dead.” You might want to check out after this one. ( or Click Here)
Anyway…
The story of the 7 heavenly virtues vs. the 7 deadly sins isn’t just an epic showdown; it’s 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 aren’t easy.
And let’s be honest—sometimes, letting the “sins” win is easier.
But this story shows us why fighting to do what’s right is sometimes better than the chaotic consequences.
The Philosophical Dilemma of Morality
Now, here’s the big question: What is morality, and why does it matter?
Let’s break it down.
Morality can mean different things depending on who you ask. You might call it “ethics,” “principles,” or simply “doing the right thing.”
On the flip side, the absence of morality could be described as “chaos,” “selfishness,” or “anarchy.” Basically, it’s the invisible rulebook that keeps us from turning on each other and becoming Killer Monkeys.
Here’s where it gets interesting…
There’s this theory called the Killer Ape Hypothesis (remember those monkeys?) that suggests morality evolved to counteract our violent tendencies.
Basically, without morality, we’d all be swinging from trees and stealing each other’s bananas. 🍌🍌🍌
But morality isn’t just about survival; to me, it’s about balance.
In my story, when morality is abandoned, chaos reigns. But when virtues rise, there’s 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, it’s a pretty useful one. Without it, we’d be unstoppable Killer Monkeys… but not in a good way.
Lessons We Can Take Away
Look, my story is dramatic (we’re talking fire, battles, and angelic light shows), but it has some real-life takeaways:
- Self-Reflection Is Crucial: We all have flaws, and that’s okay. What matters is taking the time to recognize them.
- Balance Is Key: No one’s perfect. The goal isn’t to eliminate every vice—it’s to find balance.
- Virtues Take Practice: Being patient or humble doesn’t happen overnight. It’s 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 you’re wondering how I dreamed up this wild ride, here’s the backstory. I was deep into Human Design, which introduced me to the idea of “Killer Monkeys.”
Ra Uru Hu, the founder of Human Design, used this concept to describe humanity’s 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 me—so 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.
