A moral conflict occurs when one’s most deeply held convictions do not match one’s actions.
That also happens to be the definition of the modern term “moral injury”.
Is a moral conflict injurious? Certainly. But I take issue with the entire freaking concept of “moral injury”… for several reasons. Not the least of which, or even mainly; how limited it’s scope, how Victim-Glorious, & how much invented/false helplessness is attached.
To be fair… the concept of a moral conflict followed several centuries of near constant warfare, and moral injury has appeared only in the wake of wars being something felt by few.
Thoughts?
