Morals

One of the big topics in life are morals. All our life, our friends, family, and the society/media have told us to be moral people and to not do things such as lie, steal, or kill people without a reason among some of the things. Most people have followed not to kill but people still steal and lie all the time. Even though we have had the idea of morals drilled into our head since we were little, people choose to not follow them. People might say that they are moral, but not everyone is moral. All people have some sort of unmoralness to them because everyone lies, for instance. Some people have more moral ways of living than others but there isn't one person who is 100% moral. Our society really stresses this. We all have a universal definition of what morality means but there are certain exceptions and people have different ides of what morality is-it differs. For example, it is umnoral to kill someone but if you were being attacked, then it is ok to kill someone because you are trying to protect yourself. Morals also mean being honest. Recently, I lost my phone and everyone I talked to said that these days, no one will give back a phone if lost, but a classmate of mine found it and gave it back to me. That's a very honest and moral thing to do.
