I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I do realize some people who are really immoral get ahead, but I think those are exceptions. I feel like I’ve been getting in my own way. I feel like I was an average student at my best and an average worker at my best. I feel like things go great for me then I do something immoral then everything spirals out of control. I explained it before with mind control, but really don’t think it’s a government thing anymore. I now explain my downfalls in the military and school with being immoral. I think it’s healthier this way. Am I off base or am I getting warmer with my beliefs?

I think it is to quite a large extent.

I think that the Big Kahuza rewards people who are moral, and punishes those who are not. That’s just my theory. He says He does anyway. I know my life is very blessed. And I try to live a moral life all the time.

The question of morality is a tough one. Really it comes down to bent of character and perception. But there are so many things to account for. Because something can be good in your eyes but bad in someone else’s. I think morality is a personal concept. It is said that someone who fails in their own morality will ultimately punish themselves for not living up to the standards. So you have to sorta look into truth as a guiding force too. Because even a scoundrel can think they have great morals, but then again who am I to call them a scoundrel.

I enjoyed reading your post @ablue. I think you must be doing pretty well. At my worst, i had a hard time grasping the abstract and complex non black-and-white issues were tough for me to understand, much less actually put into words.

Who cares? You shouldn’t act morally to get ahead. You should act morally because it’s the right thing to do.

I do think morality is the key to a good life. Not just because it’s always right and a good person should be inclined to act as such, but also because karmatically it is in ones best interest. I believe, one way or another everything we do comes back to us. For every action there is an equal consequence. One way or another, those that are cruel and do terrible things, will feel the consequences in some way.
