Morality...where are we heading

Have we lost our morality? Are we pushing the envelope of our believes and our morality? Where are we heading? Are we rewriting our morality? We are and I am afraid we might lose our sight on what morality is. Is morality related to our religion? Yes and no. Often we confuse that religion is way of morality. But there is a difference. Moral is defined as "Of or concerned with the judgment of the goodness or badness of human action and character" according to American Heritage Dictionary. But often we refer moral as the goodness of human action and character. Does the definition refer to religion? No! Can a religious man have no morality? Yes... Can a non-religious man have good moral? Yes. I just want to make the distinction.

I am afraid that we have lose sight of what we were and going to nowhere to where we want to go. What is our goal in today's world? In the advancement in our technologies, it seems like we are busier than ever. Technology is suppose to give help us in our day to day task. Yes technology can make complex task easier but are we, us humans, trying to do more than what we intend to do? Did you ask yourself before what you are doing, is it for the goodness of humanity? Are you contributing to this world or to society or even to your fellow human. I think we have lose sight in what we want to achieve. The primary problem that I see in our world is money and power....which incidently is often our goal is life. We have been bombarded with the images on TV, magazines and everywhere that we need to have this item and have that item....and if not, we will not belong to a certain part of the society that we desired to belong to. I think a lot of us, given the opportunity wants to be the rich and famous....is this the part of the society that we want to belong. Does this inheritly ingrain in our genetics to be strong and powerful?

To summarize my point....we need to look at ourself to know where we are heading in the future. The future is here and will go on whether you are on board or not, please make sure that you know where you want to head and is it the RIGHT future you want for your children and their children after that. Please be responsible, we might be the last hope of our future.....Good Luck and Godspeed in our journey.
