To us, life starts when we realize that we have a role in society and have duties to fulfill. Remember the earliest part of your childhood- would you consider your life starting then, at that point in time, or later on? The most memorable moments from your childhood would be the particularly joyful times, like Santa dropping by for a visit on Christmas Eve, and waking up the next morning only to find exactly what you were expecting under that Christmas tree. As well as the scary moments, such as the malicious monster under your bed, or the sandman peeking through the cracks in your closet. Cant forget the unhappy moments, when your father or mother couldnt make it for your sport team playoffs, or when your best friend is unfortunately forced to move away. Regardless of all these moments, would you recall life starting at that point? To many individuals, life is nothing, and to some, it means everything.
Perception of life is very broad; every being has their own judgment and opinion towards it. As the expression goes, “The child is father to the man”, stating the fact that a child is a child, till he (a male in this case) has grown into a man. A child has very limited knowledge of his or her environment and surroundings and therefore, is not able to distinguish or comprehend the “beauty” that you, as an adult sees in certain aspects of this world. As a child, you have the capability of good and evil, but as time moves on, your view of the world changes; leaving you with only one of those choices. An adult should recognize the difference between right and wrong, but the actions we commit is due to whatever capacity we have within us. In most cases, because life itself is so beautiful, our capacity of good is higher than that of evil. However, we
are in no condition to take responsibility for our actions in this way, and as it will be shown, you don’t have to make excuses for your actions. The majority of persons of a given age have a tendency towards the desire to do things according to their needs. If you are young, you have the capability of the desire to choose between your needs, but we don’t want you to act selfishly or impulsively either. I’ve already pointed out a few ways I see that you can do things according to a different perspective from that which I suggest, but it will only happen if you are at least mature enough. I’ve said this before, but I would like to use this as an example. You need to be aware of your environment. It can be very unpleasant in some areas, including for the average person, but as you get older and you become more conscious of your environment, it’s much easier to live in peace, more comfortable, and you can become more responsible for the things which are good to you and to others.
If you want to talk about the ethics and the consequences of actions or values and how they influence our lives, one of the reasons is that we have a lot of power at hand:
1. That moral, or in other words moral judgement, we often don’t want to take
2. That values we will live for don’t belong
3. That we feel ashamed to take actions we wish to take
4. That we fear the consequences of our actions (moral or otherwise)
5. That if we behave without being responsible or self aware, that doesn’t make right what we do
6. That we don’t want to do things we feel aren’t right
7. That if we just act or see behavior that doesn’t look right and feel like we are doing something wrong, then we don’t do the right thing
8. That it’s just not right to act without any rational basis
9. That we can’t do anything that isn’t right
10. That we don’t want to be responsible for our actions or values
11. That the result of taking actions is not the end, but merely the mean
12. This is the principle that only those who wish to make a difference tend to act
13. If you cannot make a difference, but don’t feel like making a difference, you will likely end up in a situation where people are likely to view you as being the evil culprit. This is why I encourage you to practice it, and we should also work with other people. However, I think that the best way out of these issues is to go along with them and to be part of what is really happening to children who are so young and so vulnerable.
If the moral judgement you have is wrong, and there is no way out of your situation, then don’t act. That may be a good idea, but as for people who see you doing wrong and not caring or want to help us, it’s always possible to get into trouble. It’s quite easy to think, “I’d rather be helping that kid who just wants more money than doing the right thing,” then respond to that feeling with something that makes you feel better about doing the right thing.
