Morality - What's Right and What's Wrong?

     Morality is something that we must face when making decisions in our everyday lives. Sometimes we are torn between what is right and what is wrong. I believe it is something that we as humans learn and develop over time. We are not born with the ability to make the right decision. It is a type of knowledge that we gain over time from our own personal experiences. It could be something like making the wrong decision and learning from it or something as simple as getting advice from your parents. Taking a class on morality could teach you how to make the proper decisions. Most of this is based on your point of view and how you interpret things. Sometimes people are prone to making the wrong decisions and never learn from them. While others make mistakes and choose to learn and change from them for the better. People can influence and persuade you to make certain choices as well. Most of us have 'common sense' that is based on our view of morality. When we are born, we cannot make choices for ourselves but once we grow older, we gain the knowledge and soon the trust from our parents to makes our own resolutions. Whether is life threatening or something as simple as deciding which restaurant to go to, it all comes down to morality. Sometimes I ask myself the questions, what happened the last time I came to this dilemma? What are the possible outcomes? Who would benefit from my actions? What do I feel is the right thing to do? These are all answered with the knowledge I have obtained over the years. It can be a tough choice sometimes but we all have to make it at some point. I believe having a positive view on morality will help you succeed in life.
