Sorry I haven't blogged in a little while, I have been feeling pretty ill at the moment, but am feeling a lot better now, just the asthma to get rid of!
What I want to talk about is moral decisions that we make. I obviously base mine on christianity, but everyone has their set of morals, whether they have a faith or not.
Without going into too much detail, I have a personal dilema that involves my conscience, and my personal views (nothing illegal/rude and naughty). I have noticed that with me, I need to talk to people. It is my way of thinking a problem through, to rationalise it, and to think of a solution. I also want other people's opinion, and want 'their permission' in a sense. If they don't think what I am doing is wrong, and I trust their moral judgement, then in a sense, I don't care what others think- only those whose opinions matter to me. I asked three people tonight- a priest, my dad, and a good friend. Those are my three: my faith, family, and friends. They mean the world to me, and the people I talked to I care for and respect.
In the end, it is my decision. I cannot have someone make a decision for me (though I did try at one point :p), and this is the way we as humans learn, by the choices and mistakes we make.
At one point, I did think that asking people for their opinion was childish, that it shows I can't decide for myself, can't think for myself. Not gonna lie, that made me feel pretty crap. Hopefully it is actually a sign that I am thinking things through, that I put thought into my decisions, and that I am mature.
As I get the feeling most people don't think I'm mature, it'll be nice to prove them wrong.
Anyway, whatever I decide, I'll blame myself if I'm wrong, and thank the three if I'm right :) Thank goodness I have those people around, and that they are there for me. I'm very lucky to have them :) x
