What is Morality?
Is Morality Inborn or Cultivated?
-By being more aware or paying attention we are better able to align our thoughts (within) and actions (without) - when there is no conflict between our thoughts and actions there is peace of mind
-Finding the root of alignment or misalignment is important to being happy - we should ask ourselves what influences these possibilities
-We need not conform to society's views with the assumption that society is right - we need to ask ourselves what is right for us
-Morals and ethics gauge / affect all that we do - appreciating this fact helps us to cultivate appropriate morals and ethics
-We should accept that alignment between our morals and ethics is not easy - the next step would be to understand why we compromise on either
-We tend to be unsure whether morals are instilled (nature) or developed (nurture) - we should continue to reflect on this to better understand ourselves
-Confusion is not necessarily negative - confusion can be that step away from ignorance and towards knowledge
-The more sincere we question, the more sincere an answer will be revealed
