Star Trek Quotes That Deal With The Relativity of Morality...

Anyways, I just wanted to share these Star Trek quotes. From time to time, you'll here me talking about the relativity of morality. No, I don't believe in the relativity of morality myself. Quite the contrary in fact. But I think it can be a motivating force in human life, to question the values that humans sometimes have and just take for granted.

Pursuant to that, I have collected the following quotes from Star Trek that deal with this issue, that I have also made into memes, and shared on the internet. If the moderators want to just graft this onto one of my other threads, that would be okay. But in the meantime enjoy.
