So, I've been chatting with my buddies lately, and it's turned into a bunch of debates about right and wrong. I think I have a pretty solid moral compass, I'm not bragging haha, but most people I know can't really explain why something's right or wrong without getting all circular or contradicting themselves.

So, how do you figure out what to do? No judgment, just curious. I'll share my thoughts below.

Thanks!

Edit: Oh, all you lil' philosophers have brought me a cornicopia of thoughts and ideas. I'm going to take my time responding, I'm like Treebeard, never wanna be hasty.

Great philosophy, gotta make sure people dont take advantage of that though.

It also acts as a filter in life .... whenever you meet unkind people, you stay away from them

Whenever you meet people who would take advantage of your kindness ... you kindly stay away from them

When you meet other kind people, you do your best to stay with them, live with them, work with them or encourage them

Everyone always remember a few key things in life ... people remember others who were unkind to them ... people also remember people who were kind to them.

Life is short and it gets shorter every moment ... whatever you do in life ... just be kind ... because most of the people you will ever meet you will only ever know for that one moment or just for a very short time.

Being kind to yourself counts as well.

And if we err, let it be toward kindness.

Maybe it's kind to not let people take advantage, force them to rely on themselves, thats a kindness.
