Comment on Is it normal that I feel pretty bad for ignoring homeless people begging for money?
sab@kbin.social 11 months agoSure - if your alternative is doing nothing. It's not like he's saying giving money to beggars is immoral, it's just amoral.

Amoral means not morally relevant. Something that is morally neutral is not amoral, it’s morally neutral.
E.g it is morally neutral to pet a dog, it is amoral to like the colour blue.
Normally in moral philosophy one would avoid this confusion by classifying morally relevant actions/outcomes as “bad”,“neutral”, or “good”.
