I don't think there is a moral imperative at all: that's what free will is.
I suppose that is, indeed, true as a general matter. Yet, on another level--and maybe this is my artistic bias pushing this, but--if one regards this vague construct considered to be self as an instrument of service to the Infinite, then is there not an implied imperative--which one may choose to accept or reject--to become as expansive an instrument as possible along the lines of the shopping example?
One response to this is, "Sure, if you want to do that, go right ahead." I guess I'm just wondering why this bias is not more pervasive and supported. What am I missing?
