Morals

             People who steal often have no idea that thievery is morally wrong, people often find excuses to steal or have justifications on how its ok to steal. I've heard people say that its okay to steal at department store because you don't know the people that your stealing from and that its not okay to steal from a friend. I say what's the difference its both stealing no matter what. There should be no justification for stealing its inheritly immoral. .
             Sticking to your principals is inheritilty moral. Sticking to what you believe in and not compromising for anything. Many people I know lack conviction. They never stay on their word. People I know and see are hurt by other peoples lack of conviction. Sticking to your beliefs and your principals is heritltly moral. I have two examples of this, the first one is a young man who wants to lose weight and promises him self that he will lose weight because he wants to live a healhly life. And because of his strong belief in his principals to lose weight he makes no compromises. Second example is a young girl who refuses to drink at a party because she's told her self that drinking alcohol is not something a 17 year old girl should be doing no matter what. She's able to fight the temptation of peer pressure. She has a strong conviction and is able to follow her principals. .
             People that have strong convictions and people who follow their principals are very admirable. It is sad to see people who lack conviction and don't follow their principals. I guess that's normal in today's world. People going back on their words, lying, stealing, adultery, murder and greed. Sticking to your principals is a hard thing to do in today society but it can be done.
