We have been discussing moral decisions for a couple of
weeks. Analyzing other stories and movies and writing about how they came to
the moral decisions, or not so moral decisions. However, in the end, I just don’t
think I really fall under any of these particular categories, not completely at
least. As a Christian, obviously, I find that the Bible is helpful in guidance.
However, and maybe some would not agree, I do not believe during this time that
Bible can help make all the decisions. It is used as guidance, not direct answers.
The Bible was written many years ago, and cannot completely answer all the
questions of this time. I have learned right and wrong through teachings from
my parents, teachers, friends, and family. I learned right and wrong through
experience. I have learned right and wrong through my mistakes. I have learned
right and wrong through the stories of others. I don’t think you can find one person
who would agree one hundred percent on everything they think is right and wrong
with someone else. How could they? Nobody lives the same life. Everyone has
different experiences, mistakes, friends, family, and teachers. It is even safe
to say that even siblings don’t agree on all the things they feel are right and
all of the things they feel are wrong. It just simply doesn’t happen. A perfect
example is within my own family. My brother, sister and I all are very similar.
However, we are not the same and definitely do not agree on all the things we
have believed that are right and wrong. Even within our religious belief, it is
slightly different. Everyone has their way of determining right and wrong. I
personally pull from the past and those around me. I can feel it when it wrong.
I know what I believe. As long as I know what I believe, I know I will be
happy, satisfied, and live a fulfilled life.
