Slightly off-topic, I know, but with the death of Robert Jordan on Sunday, and of David Gemmel just over a year ago, I found myself pondering just how much authors of fiction have shaped my moral and ethical framework. I often refer to the commandment "Judge not, lest ye be judged" from the bible, for example, but really, my belief in not judging was really much more strongly informed by the often ambiguous characters David Gemmel created for his stories.
So the question (FINALLY!) is:
How has your own moral framework evolved? If religious, is it entirely determined by that, and if not, what then are the main influences? Literature? Philosophy? Tradition? Comic-Books?! And perhaps more importantly, do you accept or reject a moral framework as a whole, or do you tend to pick-and-choose what you believe?
