Our Morality

             We’ve all had that voice in our head telling us what is right and what is wrong. “Keep the money for yourself”, “take it to the authorities”, “make fun of that guy’s appearance”, “ask if the guy is all right”, “beat him up”, “don’t beat him up”, “kill him”, “don’t kill him.” I'm sorry if I seem a bit preachy, but it has to be said. Just one day ago I saw a trio of kids throw a freshman’s backpack around. I won’t name them. The kid said he had his computer in there. Really? The group of guys knew it was in there, but they didn’t care. All they wanted to do was have “fun”. It's not just that, people just don’t seem to care for other people’s feelings. They don’t care what she’ll feel after they call her a whore. They don’t care what he’ll feel after being called a retard. I know maybe those people don’t have it good at home, but still…... deal with that at home. One last thing, if you’re having a hard time with personal business, do something about it. Don’t let it out on other who probably are having a bad day as well. If your parents aren’t “parents of the year,” do something about it! Turn your problems into solutions. Don’t just leave it as it is. You don’t deserve to live like that.
