Morals are often taught to us as we go through school. Yet somehow, the morals of society continue to disintegrate. People lie, steal, and take advantage of each other. As humans, we often get distracted by goals in our lives. While we once might be good people, we slowly distance ourselves from our own morals as small goals contradict them. One exception is followed by hundreds. If we want to maintain our sense of morality, we need each to set up ways to keep ourselves in check with our own personal standards.
I totally agree, but I'm curious what sorts of goals you have in mind as distractions.
ReplyDeleteOne very basic goal is the goal of making more money. Some people might cheat a little to get a raise or a bonus. Some people even lie about their hours in order to get a little bit more money without working for it.
