The problem with moralities

is that
if they are elastic they are hypocritical
and favour the rich and powerful,
while if they are rigid
they're cruelly totalitarian.
So...?

What is the opposite of a morality code? An immorality code? Not really since it is as flexible and inconsistent as the morality code it opposes, and worse it is intentional that in immorality deeds differ and disconnect from words, which differ from thought... Perhaps saying whatever needs said more economically, and saying the least we can, is the nearest we can approximate to a true morality. Though trying to practice the least cliched version of a genuine forgiveness and humility that we can come up with will also help.
