Post 141 Always be a good person
I have been asked to give my opinion for what it is worth on moral values by a group of college students. They raised this question because the supposedly sinful acts of Criminal Breach of Trust (CBT) in society have now become a norm among the so-called high society.
All societies, oriental and Western alike, attach much importance to both cultural and moral values. People in general have long been influenced by religions to manifest how pious and God fearing they are. They try their best to be morally upright to shine forth light to the world. However there is now a tendency for people who are guilty of corruption, be it financial or moral, to defend their actions without any sign of remorse and compunction. Their focus in life is no more on righteous actions and on human morality.
There is a Chinese proverb which says that a single slip may cause lasting sorrow; the mistake committed due to fleshly desires becomes the regret of a lifetime. When a person is richer in ill-gotten wealth, he is poorer in integrity.
Your moral values are what you are. – Quote by Ho Nee Yong
