What do I see with my own eyes
what do my hands do
only what my mind sees as fit to bring

the Holy Cross
With that I find what is true
Say that you’re a criminal. Do you not have morals as well? Morals are not just about a compass directing you to the “goodness” of the planet. Morals are what you believe in, and it is never a concrete principle. There are lines that blur constantly when you talk about morals.
I have a problem with morality. I have such a strong moral compass that I cannot get over something he did when he was 17. It’s one reason why we broke up. It was nine years ago, but so morally wrong to me that I can’t be with him anymore. I’ve tried. For 5 1/2 years I tried. It’s just not going to work.
morality. I don’t really know what that means. But i think it’s when something, or someone has meaning, morals, and values. Something along the lines of that I guess. I don’t know…um…morals like “never tell a lie”. Stories have morals.
It’s all relative. We all have our own codes and credos, but to assume that any higher power implanted them into our very beings is foolish. We only have morality because society is built on contracts.
Morality:
something people have morphed into an ugly beast.
“What is right for you,
may be wrong for someone else.”
Oh the horror of relativism.
Now let’s be clear,
we all have an idea of morality;
it is imprinted on our hearts, it seems.
An old man being mugged in the streets.
Shall we walk on by and not bring justice? Or even feel anger in our hearts? Not even the slightest?
A baby being shaken by an alcoholic mother.
Is that wrong?
Well, if you adhered to relativism, you could not concretely say it is wrong.
But without morals,
there is chaos.
For, someone could rape and murder your sister,
and they would be free to do it again,
no punishment for crime
if morals are nonexistent.
In my opinion, all morals–the discernment between right and wrong–have come from God Himself.
If you erase morals and God from this world, what you have is chaos.
It literally becomes a dog-eat-dog world.
And to me, that is the most frightening atrocity that could ever occur in history.
morality is the nature of human being. it based on people’s heart and every people has it on their mind,as long as they believe in god ! It refers to the ability of people to socialize their self in the right way without hurting each others.
It means you can die and are not immortal. Any little thing can kill you and end you soul forever. We cannot live forever because we age. With age comes disease and loss of bone marrow. Humans are mor
I think maybe I’ve lost mine…all of those values I started with – out the window. gone. I’m not sure if that makes me inhuman, I feel like it’s becoming more and more popular to abandon all ideals one once had about their morals. I hate it. I hate living in a world that doesn’t care about the values a human caries with them.
sad world.
What is there to say about mortality? One day we will all die. The only question that remains is how to address it. Do we attempt to prolong our existence? Do we try to hold on to life, living as if already dead? Or ignore it and risk fizzling out quickly in a blaze of glory?
“It isn’t a question of morality,” I argued, “At least morality in the classical sense of the word.” “By that I mean, ” I continued, “The law handed down from God that most sheeple follow, rather, this is a question of right and wrong on an innate level.”
Why don’t I know what morality means, oh yes, a very small vocabulary. It is morality that shows right or wrong. This is wrong, when will I find out? Oh in about 10 seconds.. Waiting,
morality is a touchy subject to a lot of people. Morals are like politics and religion, you just don’t bring them up at a dinner if you want to have a nice comfortable time. But what does that say about our society? We are so afraid of contradictions and such that we can’t even stand up for what is right? we aren’t even open to discussion about differing belief systems or what not? Its quite appalling.
He looked at me with icicles handing from his eyes. Their shocking blue seemed to be frozen bits of ice on his eyeballs. His smile curved into a serpents smile, his sharp tongue licking around his lips like looking forward to a tasty snack.
“Morality? As if such a thing actually matters in life.” He snickered, his eyes narrowing to a boasting sneer, “success is all that matters.”

What exactly is the real definition of morality? How do we truly know what its standards are? Are we limited ourselves, or is it for our own good? How do we know what’s best for us when the present clearly does not show that? We will forever ask questions, but will get no reply if we only ask ourselves.
morality is just being a good person. it isnt giving change to homeless people and donating to charity, its not bitching because they need it. its knowing what not to do when a situation arises in your favor. its taking care of your own and loving those around you enough to take care of them too.
We’re all moral in some way or another. We have morals because of our religion, because of our beliefs, because of who we are and who we were raised to be. I’m moral because of where I came from and how I came to be. We are nothing without morality. Morality defines who we are. We define morality. In every sense of the word.
what is it, really i mean? morals, ethics, issues, what ever it is… there’s one thing for sure; its that no one has one darn thing straight down these days… it makes me think of mortality… does it not? what are we without the morals we have… but then again what are we not?
yeash… this is getting too —
Morality is fictional. Nowadays morality doesn’t exist. It’s something you read about in an old book. Back when people cared. No one cares anymore, really, except for themselves. I wish people would rediscover morality. It’s disappointing everyday because it doesn’t exist.
I guess we all should have some sense of morality. Be kind to others, eat all your vegetables. but what would you do if you had no sense of morality? Would you finally live how you want to live? Not afraid of what everyone else has to say? Would you finally be happy?
is a relative thing. and it has about as much freedom as our government. it is subject to bias and at the whim of its maker. but we need something to hold us together, even if those things are debatable.
Morality. The way I see it, if you’re immortal, you don’t have to have it. But no one- as far as I know, excluding my friends might-be Italian boyfriend, no one is, so go get some. We do stupid things and say it’s because of morals. You, well not exactly /ignore/ me but you sure as hell refuse to see and say it’s because of your morals…
The morality of this fellow had sunken low after a number of encounters with the usual crooks; bandits, thieves, whores, drunks, liars- you name it he had known them all personally. And when one associates themselves with such a crowd, the good in them takes a heavy beating until one day, they will find the good pummeled out of them by the harsh reality of life. Such was his fate.
Morality cannot be regulated. It is an elusive, yet apparent factor in humanity. Why do so many people balk in its presence, in fear of being “sucked in”? Others, use it as a badge of righteousness very few deserve.
