Moral neutrality

March 19, 2010

Looking for a word.

“Amoral” is as close as I can get, but I can’t shake the feeling that, despite its denoted meaning, that word still has a moral connotation to it, and it’s a negative connotation.

Which is amusing.  And unfair to the word.  It should be allowed to be neutral.  Poor “amoral.”

I am trying to describe my job accurately.  I keep wanting to say it’s amoral, but then I feel like an asshole.

Maybe I am an asshole?

Help.
