If it's fleeting, it's not morality.

December 30, 2014

Morality is not something that you do when you feel like it or because you hope to get something from it.

If you prioritize it as the most important thing in your life and try to practice it accordingly, it does turn into something that you feel like doing, and you do get something from it.  You turn into someone who would rather do right than wrong, and you get to be someone who is dependable.  

There is nothing that can turn someone into a person who never makes mistakes.  Taking responsibility for mistakes is part of the definition of being dependable, and is an indispensable part of morality.
