Dont have any sock things. Although i have the opposite whre I have recently been wearing odd socks tho cuz sometimes I cant find the other pair for some reason and I just dont care.
For morality I think it is complex, but a lot of moral dillemas today are very simple. I.e helping the homeless. The process of helping the homeless can be complex, but whether u should is a simple YES. But people huff and puff about that the homeless are lazy, or that homeless people are drug addicts etc.
I find it difficult to not judge those types of view but i try to realise my empathy should extend to them aswell since they're human aswell. The might have particular trauama reasons why they feel so averse to helping others in need.
I think also seperating your own hatred of someone from morality can be difficult and I think its important to actively think about that. This can be where morality can warp.
So overall, I think our pereception of morality is complex since we have various biases and emotions. Morality itself imo is often (not always) more simple than we make it out to be.
