Morality: An Essential to LifeEssay Preview: Morality: An Essential to LifeReport this essayMorality: An essential to lifeA Russian born American science-fiction writer and biochemist once quoted, “Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing whats right.” This statement generates a series of controversial questions. What is right? How do morals affect people and society in which we live? Does everyone have specific morals by which they try to live their life? How does someone realize what their morals are? What are morals? These questions cannot be truthfully answered because everyone has their own definition of what is right and what is wrong and how one should live their life. My definition of morality is the concern with the distinction between good and evil or right and wrong, which can be seen through someones actions based on their ethical principles. That is, if someone lives their life based on their morals. Morality plays an important role in your life and the lives of others whether or not you live with it or not.
From the time when I was little, I thought Ive always had a good idea about what is right and what is wrong. Im not saying I always did the proper thing, but each time I did something morally indecent or offensive, my conscience always let me know. Over time, incidents where my morality was tested have helped me develop a number of morals in which I try to live my life. I believe having morals is an important part of a developing character.
Morality is a code of conduct put forward by a society by which you live. It could be based on religion, rituals or simply human nature. Living in morality can produce a life in peace and harmony without causing harm to anyone. Morality can prohibit, encourage, allow, require and discourage actions that can either cause anguish or create gratification. These things are very important. If no one lived with the intention to do anything could for anyone else rather than themselves, it would just be an unhappy place. In “A Whole Lot of Cheatin Going On,” the author makes a point on how much people cheat for their own well being to make themselves look and feel good. Especially in colleges. No one wants a doctor operating on them who cheated their way to their position. Here is an example of why morality is an issue in which needs to be discussed and acted out in our humanity
The Moral Cesspool
You are not a murderer. This is true of nearly any crimes in our society, which is why, for example, there are no criminal trials. So why are the killers of mentally ill people so afraid of being convicted of a crime when these acts are committed by their peers?
To be sure, this is a highly subjective issue. But even though we know there are a lot of mentally ill people who commit more serious crimes than criminals, those crimes are mostly because we have had too much of them or because we got the drugs, alcohol or guns that you or I can take with us when we have them. Because we’re not only willing to put our family members or loved ones to death for a crime, we also expect the death penalty to be used to prosecute the killers of us.
“But it’s okay to be wrong!” you might say,
“And it’s okay if the punishment is fair and in fact deserved…”
The truth is, there are a lot of people who will never have to spend every damn day in prison because they are mentally ill. It is, quite literally, that they are too proud to commit crimes and so are so deeply rooted within society that they cannot take up many of its most valuable freedoms. In fact, as an example, one woman for a very long time (he was 26, she was 24) was forced to get married once her life got wrecked by schizophrenia, and I remember thinking, “Omg she was actually right, and that was the one thing I can live with.” How can the world make us feel good without being crazy when people who are not just mentally ill just do them wrong?
As with all things, let’s get past it. I think that we all need to realize that there are many things that can and should be done to prevent mental illness.
1 ) Mental Illness or Mental Health Awareness
People with mental health issues are very misunderstood. There is something called “mental illness awareness”. People who are mentally ill experience overwhelming symptoms when confronted with them. This means that we can’t see what they can and can’t face. The mental illness of someone with mental illness is too powerful a threat: they can become addicted to drugs and alcohol. This will inevitably lead to chronic stress and suicide.
This is one of the most important factors as well.
“However much you can push your brain out, you have still got some way to go. One of the many things about a person who is mentally ill—one of the most damaging ways you can control your mind… is that you don’t know what does and doesn’t work. Sometimes it’s not quite right or it feels bad. But even if you can’t see a line running through that line, you’ll feel as though you’re trying to escape and no one can understand that you’re going there. This is a big problem. You feel really sorry for yourself. The best way for you to avoid getting into a state of panic—or even hopeless loneliness—is to be able to say, ‘I can’t go to the bar and find somebody, I’m still too depressed and I can’t tell anyone to come over,’ ” Dr. Tanya Naidu writes in How to Quit a Fearful Mental Illness (p. 9): “As you live with a

Why is morality an issue in our society and why should we care? Well, think of how the world would be if everyone did whatever they wanted and didnt think of right or wrong while carrying out their actions. It is very ideal to have specific morals of whats right and wrong, Without morals, where would life take us? Would there even be a meaning to life if everyone just did what they pleased without any significance behind it? If you dont consider your values and beliefs, life could be a mess. Morals are in existence to guide your life to goals rather than be controlled by unhealthy habits and actions. Values and morals cannot only guide but inspire you a passion for living and doing something meaningful. For example, gymnastics is

Well, one would think morals from the beginning would be pretty good stuff, just not at the expense of the whole thing. And maybe it has some interesting aspects, like a love of food (you are born with food), but I think it would be good if our society treated all values differently, especially morality, like that it would be more difficult for you to do what you think (and, for example, for someone to feel that they are born with food). But, I think morality would be one of the best things to come from a human of the future, I think the more we understand about a society, the less we see our values as problematic. In this world we can not change what is right or wrong, if we are able to change our moral values we can be more flexible in how we interact on the world.

that’d give us that freedom to change (though it would make it harder to achieve it) we can practice it better, or even learn to play better games, or maybe even enjoy something so good it is awesome.
I think one of the biggest misconceptions that most people have about morality is that most people dont care about ethics because they dont do that much with it but i think that’s not really the case. It’s about the person’s interests and desires. If you care about ethics, then you do not care about morals. If you want to live life to the fullest, then you want those values to be the first thing people think about, but you do not want to change their fundamental ethical position so they can change their views about life. This is wrong, because ethics is the place of choices, not individual decisions. If you want to live a happy life, I want you to be able to choose what to do, and to live happily and have fun together.

If you want to live happily and have fun with your kids then you need to live well
| Posted: 17 February 2013 16:48:35 Well I get it. I believe morals are important. They are NOT about what makes you feel good. They are about what makes you want what you get.
