Moral Dilemma…
As humans, we are building to feel and operate according to our emotions and feeling. Even the coldest person on this planet is acting according to his/her emotions, masking anger and fear.
For this and many other reasons our actions are guided by our emotions and those from the people around us.
It’s our emotions and feeling that make us feel guilty when we do something that we know deep inside it’s not right.
It’s our guilt that drive us to seek forgiveness once we have done something that is not entirely right in our book of conscience or someone else’s.
Modern society has packaged our lives with my ways to bend the rules and ease our guild and pain. Many take advantage of this and have built their entire lives and careers by bending the rules.
It’s one of is called every single day to make decision that will affect the path our live and the one from the people around us… cause and effect come to mind.
What happens though when we want to bend the rules but feel no guild, remorse or pain for what we are doing to the lives and feelings of the people next to us?
Easy, we either turn heartless or we seek permission for our actions.
If the first, then we really don’t care of the repercussions of our actions and if the second, we pass the responsibility of our actions to the person we seek approval from.
Of course this would not even been a question if we stopped for a minute and reflect of what we wanted/wished to do will affect us. But our human selfishness most of the time makes us think of ourselves first. Thus the wheel of humanity keeps turning…
I will leave it up to each one of you to decide if it’s ok to act in a way that could hurt or affect other given that we have permission, or as we like to call it their blessing.
Now why people give permission sometime for actions they know they don’t like, agree or it hurts them, it’s an entirely different discussion. As for me, when I am called to give my blessing for something I know it’s not right, I will give it, because I expect the people around me to have though of the effects their actions would have and considered my wellbeing and feelings along with theirs. Now I can tell you that 99% of the time they don’t and I fully aware from the beginning of what is happening, and make sure to make a note of it… thus passing the wand of responsibility back to it’s rightful owner.
