I was wondering ..

How do you guys see yourself in relation to morale and ethics? Do you consider yourself a moral being or not? Do ya follow abstract principles (act so that you minimize suffering/maximize happiness) or do you follow a morale that is more context-related (everyone else is full so it doesnt matter if I steal the last piece of cake)?

You dont have to get too philosophical or too niched. I think everyone is aware that most who follow absolute rules will sometimes be a bit utilitarian or opportunistic and vice versa for the others. Just roughly try to describe yourself and explain your "rules" even if you dont follow them 100% :)

I think the Veil of Ignorance is good to follow, "Create a world in which you would like to live, not knowing what you're going to come into it as"

Basically create a world you'd wanna live in, not knowing whether you're going to participate in it as white, black, tall, short, a CEO, a worker, a man, a woman, straight, gay, trans, etc...

Let's say I saw a woman whose purse flew open and change flew out. I would yell "hoo whoo, lady you have lost some coin". I would no way, take the change and say nothing!!
