Daily Prompt: Morality Play

Where do your morals come from — your family? Your faith? Your philosophical worldview? How do you deal with those who don’t share them, or derive them from a different source?

Photographers, artists, poets: show us THE SOURCE.

I think we are born with morals…

I think we all know right and wrong…

but, it’s our way in reacting to that knowledge that leads us to what our morals become…

As children our parents influence us greatly…

telling us to say, “please”…or “thank you”

… is just a beginning…

Showing us with good examples… how they talk… how they treat people… their reaction to situations…

So… do morals come from family?

… most assuredly!

Then, I begin to explore the world

… I make friends with their own taught morals… Do I switch to what I am hearing? … or do I stay strong in what was taught me?…

So our free will

of making our own choices starts to influence our morals…

We go to school… we go to work… we might get married

… So many influences…

In my case… I then had an encounter with accepting Christ‘s ways in my thinking…

I had an experience where I felt the love of God come into my heart…

Does this make me perfect and a good example of morals?…

No, it just influences my way of dealing with life… and my morals start to form…

I try to follow His ways… because they… to me… make for good relationships… good judgement… lasting friendships… a good marriage… less problems… coping skills…

and by living this way… I see goodness in others… can relate to others… and I feel at peace… My morals have been formed!

Yes… I would like to tell people this is the way… but, all I can do is be an example… and hopefully others will come to this conclusion…

I’ve never found that forcing your morals… your beliefs… which is what morals are… on anyone else…

We all have to find our own way!
