I like moral judgment to emerge from the reader. We are being sold a very simplistic morality by our leaders at a time when nuance and understanding are at a premium.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a writer, I've tried to avoid strong opinions about morality. You just want to present things as they are and let the viewer come to their own conclusion.
One should make morals judgements for oneself.
In some ways, what I learned is that you can take a character and breathe with them, and it's up to the audience to interpret rather than you putting moral stamp on the character.
In the old fairy tales, often a 'moral' was tacked on at the end of the story - say, if a book was going to be marketed to young readers. And the morals don't really suit the stories at all, which makes them super weird - part of why I love the tradition so much. I do play with this, though I am more concerned with ethics than morals.
I place a high moral value on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the spirit.
I have a strong moral sense - by my standards.
I think if you find that you're making a judgment on the character, than your audience will make a judgment on the character.
For me, the only sources of moral values are the pursuit of understanding and the pursuit of happiness.
I like for there to be a moral, for the character to have gotten something out of the experience.
Nothing I write ever has a moral. If it seems to a reader that there is one, that is unintentional.
