Morals?

It is considered a victorious adventure when one, through physical and mental observation can detect the road on which they have travelled. When each stage on a certain path in life can be mapped lucidly and when it is noticeable to the human mind that life has moved on. The fact that one has been stimulated from a certain stage of life to what is deemed a higher position of moral strength is alone the splendour of our motivation towards a destiny. A metaphorical podium is erected after a decisive journey is made. A mission accomplished. A goal fulfilled. These prestigious periods in life, these remembered events and celebrated objectives are known and held in high regard as the rewards behind mankind’s motivation for a better existence, for peace and for civil eternity. As the human race we believe we know how to differentiate good from bad, right from wrong, and left from right. But how do we know that our theories are correct? Do we wholeheartedly agree with our morals? Has right and wrong been exposed or has it been defined by one social class, the class with power. Have we questioned right or wrong or have we just approved. Have we been led like sheep to believe that one countries vested interest in another’s land is different to one groups’ passion and pride in serving and expressing their beliefs? Do we judge and make accusations or do we go through a means of moral questioning first? Do we stop to think about the balance, the similarities and that maybe both sides subsist to be on the wrong side of immoral humanity? It is with great pleasure that I draw on one of the world finest poets to ever live, Alexander Pope to illustrate this argument. Pope states that: “The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres”. Each mapped location one step closer to a destiny in which man is inspired to achieve. Every problem encountered an obstacle used to educate. Each and every desire we encounter is focused on a better life, be that the greed of one man or a shared belief of mankind that all should be municipally held and enjoyed. In solidarity we must learn to question our morals and our beliefs, we must aspire to find a better solution to life’s everlasting struggle and we must together educate that Love and Peace have greater strength and power than that of War and Hate. If a path in life can be mapped then surely it can be influenced, changed, hindered and altered. There is always chance to choose and choice of chance. As mankind we can stand against the evil of war. We can educate the majority inspired by wealth and greed that violence is not in anyway a tried and tested means of finding or creating peace.
