A Question of Morality...

There are 3 kinds of people when it comes to morality. firstly there's ppl who decide through their life what they want to stand for . These ppl develop a set of morals or basic principles that evolve over their life . These people tend to be self critical and by that I mean they are more likely to admit when they go against their morals , accept it and try to do better.

The 2nd kind of person pick a set of morals (probably given to them by Oprah). These ppl don't pick general guidelines which details whats important and what they want to stand for but super general snappy sounding (some times rhyming) rules that they use to remove any responsibility from the process of making a decision. These ppl say things like "if you're not with me you're against me" and "You have to go after what ever makes you happy no matter what" . I'm saying that these says are bad advise they just don't fit every situation and the idea of growing up is that somewhere along the line you learn to make decisions based on the circumstance .

Number 3 these ppl who pretend there the ppl in number 1 they maybe even believe it the prob is a chicken and egg issue : which came first the behavior or the morals. These ppl act a certain way all their lives with much though to morality or standing for something until a point in their life when they hear a lot of ppl talking about it and decided to invent a set of life long morals. However instead of taking the time to figure what they should be they pick the morals that best explain the way they act . This is lazy and is another way of making acting like a gimp an unquestionable matter of principle.

The thing about morals is that we should all be fairly good at them . Most of us as children have them brainwashed into us . Our parents tell us not to lie, don't call ppl names, say please. Most major religions are based around the notion of "take care of each other", "Don't be a dick", fairly decent base for morals some throw in "don't mind women" for good measure (-; The fact that these moral seems to be a blue print for civilized society seem to point to a notion of religion serving a vital function for human society.
