Morality
One simple tenet: believe what you will and allow me to do the same.
Why is that such a hard concept for sentient beings to embrace? Why must there be a right and wrong way of thinking? A good versus evil mentality?
I understand that a civilized society requires some overarching system of rules to maintain order, and the larger the society, the more important the system. These govern our actions. Nothing should govern our beliefs. Nothing.
The concept of morality is a tricky one though, circular. Each individual has their own unique morality based on their own perceptions of reality. Which of these perceived realities should serve as the moral foundation for the whole? And what if the chosen moral foundation is in opposition to your own beliefs? How do we know when it is time to cross the line between belief and action?
I have no easy answers. There are none. All I can hope is that you strive each day to further open your mind to possibilities. Take a few moments to consider the beliefs that ring true in your heart, and I’ll do the same.
I believe all things are better in moderation. More, bigger, faster is not always better, and too much of a good thing quickly becomes disgusting. Moderation fosters sincerity and appreciation.
I believe you reap what you sow. I’ve seen Karma’s wicked backhand often enough.
I believe everything works out as it is meant to. Be true to yourself and to your heart, and all else will sort itself out in the end.
