philosophy and morality


                            If we look at philosophy and morality then both the things look very much similar. But there is a fundamental difference between these two concepts. Particular philosophy may or may not be moral enough, but being moral is a kind of philosophy.
                            For the smooth functioning of society, certain guidelines are created and those are generally termed as moral things. And as everyone knows that philosophy is simply your way, view towards life. So your view i.e. philosophy may or may not be moral form others point of view, but your philosophy should be non-harmful to others which is also another philosophy.
                            There was a mystic master who used to fly away with one of  chappals from a pair. So, many times he was caught by the police.Do you think he was being greedy? Not actually, but he was doing it with the intension of giving knowledge to the people inside the jail. What can be another intension in stealing only one chappal! So his way was immoral, but not the intensions!
                             So this is the basic difference between philosophy and morality. Infact to be a moral philosopher is the golden mid-way!!
