*Solves moral*

[Anonymous No.21824720]

>On the other hand, it is a duty to maintain one's life; and, in addition, everyone has also a direct inclination to do so. But on this account the often anxious care which most men take for it has no intrinsic worth, and their maxim has no moral import. They preserve their life as duty requires, no doubt, but not because duty requires. On the other band, if adversity and hopeless sorrow have completely taken away the relish for life; if the unfortunate one, strong in mind, indignant at his fate rather than desponding or dejected, wishes for death, and yet preserves his life without loving it- not from inclination or fear, but from duty- then his maxim has a moral worth.
Benatar in this book reaches this same conclusion as Kant but in a pessimistic way.
But the maxim that Benatar proposes is to save lives, refraining from creating them.
Life is so fucking terrible and unstoppable that the sole purpose of living is to do small moral acts that will be swept away in the dust of time and crushed by the brutality that defines the human predicament.
