How Moral are you? Serious answers please.

How Moral are you?

Is your honor important to you?

Do you consider yourself to be of good character?

DO you actively try to live a good person in life?

Are traits of positive character important to what you want to be ie. kindness, honesty etc?

I think personally my kindness is my virtue.

In life by others I am generally thought to be a kind natured person.

5 questions is too much OP.

I have my own set of guidelines that work for me - most of which comes down to karma and not wanting bad mojo

In order to be a properly moral person you need a good philosophy to guide you. Personally I base all moral decisions on the teachings in this video. Hasn't failed me yet.

Maybe because AH deals with a wide variety themes and he wishes to strike up a debate.

I do judge a book by its cover.

I always look for the good in people.

I treat people the way I like to be treated myself.

Honour and honesty is a big thing to me.

Punctuality and respect for others is of upmost importance.





However.........there is no grey area with me. If after listening/knowing someone and they are not my kind of person, then they're gone. Not one second more thought is wasted on them.

Life is too short putting up with burdens or assholes.

And this is how you would like to be treated by others ? Judged and dismissed.

what does honor mean?

I try to live my life by the word of God, i have alot of sexual lust in me that i need to try and manage better though. I wouldn't say i am honest as if i told people what i thought of them i would be having fights everyday. I try to be a better Christian but it is not easy in this day and age.

A lot of morals depend on circumstances.If you're starving you'll steal food or if your kids need new shoes and you can't afford to buy them you'll keep that fifty you found outside the store.

bogwalrus

If we all put other peoples needs before ours then we will always have someone looking out for us. I don't mean 'always' put others peoples needs but it's something to keep in mind every day if you see a person in need or do something simple like helping an old woman cross the road. I am an atheist in case someone mistakes me for a good Christian.

In my opinion Morality is far too much associated with Religion. I prefer to be a person of, and be associated with people of Integrity.

Somewhat. Depends on how much **** being honorable will land me in.

Do you consider yourself to be of good character?

Yes.

DO you actively try to live a good person in life?

Actively no. Passively yes.

Honesty and truthfullness. If you say you'll be somewhere at a given time. BE THERE AT THAT ****ING TIME. If you say you'll do something, then do it.
I don't associate with people who lie frequently.
People say i'm quite blunt, and that i'm "brick to the head honest".

Honey, does this dress make my ass look big.
no honey, your ass makes your ass look big.

I admire the person who can be honest, truley honest, in that situation and others.

Maximus Alexander

Honesty is paramount to me - I abhor lying and am usually upfront and honest with people, even if it is to my detriment.

As regards kindness, I'm not an especially generous person to be honest, but I certainly think about other people's needs and feelings a lot and endeavor to treat them as I would wish to be treated. I will occasionally go out of my way to do nice things for people, but I would be lying if I said that I regularly sought out opportunities to do so.

Gongoozler

I don't see the link between morality and kindness. Maybe I'm just missing something.

I'm fairly moral. Though I do steal a luas every now and again.

Do you do kind stuff without letting people know about it or are you one of those that likes to show off how kind they are?

Better to please a fool than tease a fool?

Neither, walk away.

I would've liked an option somewhere between the first and the second one. I try to keep the head down, be decent and do the right thing but I won't be canonised anytime soon either. I'm only human.

You talk in clichés. How about "I have great faith in fools - self confidence my friends would call it"

I just can't and won't tolerate assholes. There are far too many good people out there rather than having someone sucking the life out of you with their woes.

So people who disagree with you or have troubles are fools?

Are you one of the "good" people?

I wouldn't know if they disagreed with me, that's their opinion and thought process.

I consider myself a good person of moral standing who does not inflict himself on others except to be helpful. You learn this as you become a parent. You also learn to surround yourself with similar minded good people.

Remember, a friend in need is a pain in the arse.

So you haven't spoken to these people you judge as arseholes and fools. You paint yourself as moral and good at the same time as sounding superior and unpleasant.
I read somewhere that when they say in an obituary that the deceased "didn't suffer fools gladly" it was code for he was a cantankerous old git.

I try to treat people in a way I'd like to be treated. And I've got a few personal guidelines I go by, most of it is common sense imo.
I don't think that kindness and morals go hand in hand necessarily. I've come across people, who were full of the morals talk but I didn't see anything kind about them at all. Might have been an extreme.

I try to treat others how I would like me and mine to be treated. I try to be kind. I am far from perfect however.

On the downside I am way to judgemental and keep people at arms length because of it.

Lots of people say this or some other variation of this, it has no meaning. I could say, " I try not to snatch people's hand bags and spend all their money on drink and drugs but my need to have a fun time gets the better of me". You can say this about pretty much everthing from the slightest insult to the worst crimes.
Supposing you thank a post that is clearly mocking someone well-known, you know that the famous person would prefer that you didn't but you do it anyway just for the crack.

If you say "I do treat everyone like I'd......." you're more than likely bull****ting because very few if anyone can live up to that standard.

Are you saying that there is no difference between attempting to treat people with kindness, consideration and respect, and just not giving a shit and intentionally walking all over everyone you meet?

So when I say I try to treat people in such and such way it has no meaning. And if I said that I actually do treat people in such way it's bulsh1tting.

Sounds like a deadlock to me.

Very strong on this myself. There is an old Amish proverb "Only look down on people when you are giving them a hand up." I try to stick by this but it is really, really difficult to do so at times. I am far from perfect but I'll keep trying.

No.
I'm saying that the above comments even though you hear it all the time have are meaningless.
People are as they are, why come up with some code/idea/bunch of words, that has no relevance in day to day life.
I'm guessing that people say it because it sounds nice maybe it makes them feel a little better about themselves or maybe their being competitive about their goodness it's quiet often the case.
Nobody I've every met including myself has come even remotely close to this standard, it's utter nonsense when people say it.

Yeah you can call it a deadlock or whatever, it has no meaning it's just something people say.
