The Morality Horizon

The morality horizon is the point at which an individual stops observing the Golden Rule and starts regarding creation when in duress (especially fellow human beings) as justifiably abusable or ignorable.

The morality horizon marks the beginning of self delusions and subscriptions to irrationalities as a way to discount others' distress. (Click here for brief summaries of two classic psychological experiments demonstrating how circumstances can cause the morality horizon to contract considerably)

The Morality Horizon is where those who are friends can turn into foes because of aligning themselves with the groups (See: Nazi Germany in the 1930s)

The only plausible way I have seen to become horizonless is to literally BE everything, through the state of Samahdi or Omniprescence or whatever name one hears it going by. By being directly identified with everything, one can honestly say one is taking what one is dishing out.
