What is your morality? Where does it come from?
What is your morality? Where does it come from? What is it that makes you act 'morally' ? If possible to describe, how do you distinguish what is moral from what is immoral?

My morality

My morality is not that uncommon for some people my age.

I believe the healthcare system should be free, even if you are jobless. I believe that love is love and you should love someone for who they are not what they have between their legs. I believe kids should not be pushed into politics and should not have to worry about being shot when coming to school. I believe that kids should be able to be who they are without judgment from society and their families. I believe people should be able to be who they are without pressure to be someone else from society.I believe that jobs should pay more. I believe that schools shouldn't give homework or standardized tests because it stresses kids too much.

And some uncommon ones (in my opinion):

I believe kids should be able to act like a kid as long as they want. I believe that we shouldn't be adults until the age of 25, as it's when our brains are fully developed. I believe that we should focus on the good things as much as we focus on the bad ones (look at your news). I believe that if you have a mental illness or feel that you need help, that you should be able to get help without question. I believe that if you are sick or injured, you shouldn't have to do work.

To be honest, my morality certainly does not come from my parents. They don't exactly see things on the same page as me, though they do not know that.

My need to be honest and 'good' is what causes me to act morally.

It's hard to describe what's 'immoral'. It's not just black and white. It's just the shades of gray in-between. To one person, it might be moral, but to another, it might be moral. It's more complicated than some people perceive it to be.

Good From the Blind Side

I recall... when not so very very young

asking the elders how does one really

know if something is Good, or not?

Aghast... they raised upward their eyes

Lawrd! what is to become of this child?

what moral crises beneath our very

innocence belies...

I think... no such thing I'd modestly meant

how does one for certain differentiate...

definitively, the good from the only

average, or just above, to thereby claim

that's a Good book, or film, or any

other Thing while not resting upon

personal preference or opinion...

Never mind to judge a Good person

from a Bad one though of course a

sense of Right and Wrong I thought

I'd surely had... some... albeit...

from where... why... or how come....

what can I say? ...when I've trouble enough

to deem which is the better bubble gum...

I know I'd know the one best advertised 

by whatever most highly promoted sitcom...

or other new campaign... of massive duption

openly, and subliminally, that tells me firmly

...this one... this one... this one... this one...

...not this... not this... not this... not this...

...this one... this one... this one... this one...

...not this... not this... not this... not this...

till I believe I've a connoisseur's statement 

self-made by reason and moral conviction

even... to claim myself fit as a Judge at all.
