Being moral essay…Will you read it????? Tips please!?

For me, being truly moral includes justifying your actions, following your word, and telling the truth, at any cost. When you must do something morally wrong, you must be able to justify your actions. It would be morally wrong to skip mass on Sunday. Some can not make it to mass on Sundays because of a job, and skipping would be morally wrong. They would be able to justify missing mass on Sunday by going on a different day when they do not have to work. It is morally wrong to miss mass but it can be justified it you miss because of a good reason, and by going to mass on another day. Similarly you must follow your word, to be a truly moral person. If someone you know told you the negatives of illegal downloading, and told your parents, trying to get you to quit; you would be extremely upset if you found out they still were downloading songs and videos illegally. In the same sense, if you told someones parents about their wrongdoings, they would feel the same way. When we see others hypocrisy, we are able to fool ourselves into believing we are honest. Lastly hypocrisy and arrogance are alive, while truth is in short supply. If you found a large sum of money you would want to keep it. You should make an effort find the owner and return it. You should not pretend, cheat or steal for material goods. It may be easier to cheat on a test, or “borrow” money from a parent or a friend, but it will just degrade yourself. If everyone told the truth, their would be less scandal in the world. These principle: justifying your actions, following your word, and telling the truth, at any cost would make a person truly moral.

As the previous answer said, put it into paragraphs with each paragraph having a single theme.

Morality is a justified wrong? Who do we justify ourselves to? For Christians, it is like a conversation with God. If we imagine ourselves telling God our story, we immediately feel foolish if we think of not telling Him the whole truth.

We all have an enormous capacity to deceive ourselves. If we are justifying something to ourselves, we will almost always succeed. You are certainly correct in your emphasis on honesty. If honesty isn’t number one priority, our moral value system will quickly degenerate.

Hypocrisy is an example of what happens when honesty isn’t number one.

Perhaps you could make an outline. In the outline, state the theme of each paragraph and try to see how one paragraph leads naturally to the next.
