Composition on a moral theme
What is morality? On the one hand, this is a very complex philosophical question, requiring serious reflection. And on the other hand, usually we can fairly clearly determine whether a person has acted morally or not. Well, let’s talk about it.
If we dig deeply, we will understand that from time immemorial the source of morality was the scriptures. In Christianity, it was the Ten Commandments of Christ that defined the moral code of man. Why am I speaking in the past tense? Probably, because now there are not so many religious people, religion no longer permeates all spheres of human existence, as before.

Each step must be monitored. Experience shows that one who has committed an immoral act once, can not resist in the future. And here the antimoral is already born: a person becomes a liar, an opportunist, or even an outspoken prodigy. Therefore, it seems to me, it is not worth screaming about moral norms – it’s better to behave in accordance with them. The moral principles of one person will become the moral principles of society only if it is guided by positive intentions and live by conscience.
