Morality

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

To be morally correct and to have a sense of morality…..

I’m really going to push the envelope with this because I try to hold myself to a strong, moralistic code that shines out, especially when I may be close to doing something that goes against it. At one time, I tried to explain the moral code, but even to me, it is confusing. It’s a gut feeling that takes time to hit you, but when it does…it makes you think, big time.

I refuse to stick myself out there as a 100% morally sound person. I have my points that even contradict my beliefs or my words. An old friend once said, “Practice what you preach.” Well, practice makes perfect, and I’m practicing each and every day.

from Wikipedia

Morality (from the Latin moralitas “manner, character, proper behavior”) is the learning process of distinguishing between virtues and vices.

I believe that a person develops strong, moral character after learning what is moral and immoral. It dwells into religion and family teachings. To me, it’s a deep, inner feeling. It truly conflicts on other aspects of my character, but I would rather have morals than to be without them.

Modesty

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Expanding from one word is more difficult than I thought. So I’m going to try it. Modesty is an aspect that shines through when I’m talking about aspects such as romance and when I’m dealing with a group of people. Sure it makes me nervous and a little shy, but it’s something that has to be done. Put me in a room with two people and watch me go, but stick 50 or more, it’s a popsicle in my direction.

from Wikipedia:

Standards of modesty[1] are aspects of the culture of a country or people, at a given point in time, and can include:

  • Avoiding attracting attention to oneself by moderating one’s actions or appearance;
  • Downplaying one’s accomplishments (see humility);
  • Avoiding false or sham modesty, which is a form of boasting through insincere self-abasement;
  • Avoiding the display of one’s body, sexuality and nudity in public.

Normally, I try not to draw much attention in my direction because I really don’t like it. I’m used to being reclusive and not in the spotlight. The only kick is that I find myself there a lot. This has helped to nullify my modesty to a certain extent, but I’m still modest in many areas and I keep that to code. It’s a part of me and I have to accept it.
