Bullying is the opposite of caring, and the mirror image of sharing/exchanging.  

Cheating is the opposite of sharing/exchanging, and the mirror image of caring.

 

To say that A is a mirror image of B is to say that A is antithetical to B: i.e., A makes B impossible.   

To say that A is the opposite of B is to say that A is the “dark” version of B, and B is the “light” version of A.

 

Morally speaking, “dark” means that I thrive at your expense: I win, therefore you lose.  (Left hand side.)

Morally speaking, “light” means that we both thrive together: I win, you win.  (Right hand side.)

 

The top half (bullying, sharing) exists as a left → right spectrum from “dark” (me+,you–,we–) to “light” (me+,you+,we+) .  

 

The bottom half (cheating, caring) exists as a left → right spectrum from “dark” (me–,you–,we–) to “light” (me–,you+,we+).  

 

 

The right hand side represents the morality of cooperation: there is a joint goal of win-win mutualism.

 

The left hand side represents the amorality of violating the rights of others for my own benefit: our goals are separate.
