Human beings demonstrably are moral agents. But where do our morals come from? From our parents? Our community? Thin air? If morals are really just applied “Common Sense” then why, no matter how low they are, do none of us ever live up to our own moral standards? And why then do we judge the conduct of others to be wanting at times?
In the following we shall argue that morals are spiritual. By spiritual we mean that morals reside in the innermost being of humans, i.e., the conscience so-called, and as such, morals are invisible to the naked eye. The individual’s conscience is injured when the conscience refuses to excuse his/her thoughts and/or words and/or deeds.
Our actions (whether thought/word/deed) have consequences, moral consequences, i.e., spiritual consequences. Thus, Moral Injury is a spiritual problem.
