Of course a realist, and moral, morality really depends on who's side you are on, on a religious scale it is immoral to do an act merely to benefit yourself at the cost of weaker persons, it is not, for instance, immoral for two persons to confront each other if they both consent, consent being given by one person issuing a challenge and another being prepared to defend, and so we strengthen each other through adversity. Something that needs to happen continually, the other choice is to just legalise morphine and take away all passion for life, which you can only get through suffering.
