Morality

Some people say, “What is moral for you is not moral for me.” How so? It is vital for the human race to understand morality if we are to live in a free thinking society where religion is out of date.  Morality is a word that has a lot of meaning for different people because a lot of people don’t understand the meaning of the word. Everyone must learn there is only one moral code for all of us.

Morality is a code one must follow to be considerate about life itself. When I say life, I mean anything that is alive; humans, animals, even our Earth. To be moral is to help with problems, not to cause them. One must think before they act so they know what they are doing follows with that moral code. To understand this or even anything else, you have to think for yourself and experience what you are trying to understand. Be considerate of the situation.

Once you understand morality and change to become humane, you find out that you appreciate this planet, animals and everything else. You get joy out of being alive and being part of humanity. Happiness in life occurs. But most people focus on money, family drama, government and religion which are all distractions. It moves people in the wrong direction. People don’t understand morality because they don’t see the bigger picture of taking care of our planet. We focus on our own survival forgetting the fact that you would not exist if it was not for Earth. To understand life, you have to want to learn. The more you know the more you’ll enjoy life, care for others, and become a more humane and moral person.

Dian Fossey was an American zoologist who specialized in studying gorillas. By learning everything about these animals, Dian appreciated the gorilla’s lives. The overpopulated village living near the gorillas tried to take care of themselves to survive. They did the immoral thing and killed the gorillas so they can sell the limbs and parts to tourists. When Dian found out about this, she almost burned the village down! (She did not actually do it like the movie based on her life suggests.) She loved these gorillas and understood that life is so important. Dian was so angry at the people in the village because she grew to love these gorillas. She knows that people who don’t understand morality don’t understand life.  

Creating a situation where taxpayers have to pay for the bill is inconsiderate and immoral. People throw their trash on the streets and in the ocean. Why should the hardworking taxpayer pay for people’s inconsideration of our planet? For example, people bring their unneutered (male) dogs to public dog parks where they harass female dogs and could potentially impregnate them. We, the hardworking taxpayers, will end up with more unwanted dogs in the shelter. If you don’t understand this and you bring your dog to harass other dogs and create more unwanted puppies, then you are an inconsiderate nincompoop.

Some people are used to having their way at home because they are spoiled. They feel a sense of entitlement when they go out in the public and don’t understand how to be considerate. There are a bunch of inconsiderate people out there that make the world a terrible place, don’t be one of them. If you have a dog who is unneutered please keep him at home or have him fixed. This is just a small example of the bigger picture.
