Social and Family Obligations, Freedom, Fairness, Equality, and Moral Options, Moral and Ethical Availabilities, and Moral and Ethical Choice

No one is morally obliged to associate and love anyone by coercion and/or force, but they may be freely morally obliged to love and support other similar poorer and/or less fortunate people, as a moral option and choice, which should at least be available and reachable for them in these ways. The film, A Clockwork Orange, makes a very good point about choice being very necessary for some morality, and I tend not to agree with those who use state coercion, terrorism, or force for this.

However, moral coercion and force, and moral freedom and choice, are two separte moral and ethical issues, and whilst there may be a need for some moderate grey areas or a balance here, the two somewhat separate issues, can be sometimes merged too much into one compound notion - but again, I very much still think and believe that moral obligation for loving and supporting others, has to be at least somewhat of a free choice - otherwise it isn't truly moral, nor is it true love and support.

I have clarified and worked out my view and position on all of this for myself and/or for others, whilst accepting that in some situations and circumstances, there can be some moderate balance or grey areas, although I overall prefer positive persuasion, positive motivation, and fair, free, and/or equal rewards on the grey area coercion and force matter.
