Why it Pays to Have Good Morals

Moral V. Immoral Which is Better?

When you hear someone say I follow a code and stick by it that is called living a life through principle(morals). When someone changes there responses and reactions to what they prefer it is called a life of preference(immoral).

Short the word Preference the word PREFER is there. People of preference prefer what they like to do and as we know we change so a life of preference changes also. However, a person of principle follows through with whatever happens to them win or lose because, in the end they believe they truly won. Principle is stable and unwavering it does not change. Usually people devoted to religion and have strong convictions about something never change what they believe and follow (supposed to follow) the power of principle. Usually people who are materialistic or believe that "god is dead" often follow with preference.

A traditional example would be these two guys John and Joe. Joe is religious and will never seek revenge on anyone. However, John is very materialistic and blinded by what is in front of him, everything he has he got through his own means of prefering to do something anyway he can.

One day Joe runs into a someone he really does not like because, that someone hurt him in the past and that person ask for his help. Now Joe does not seek revenge and will not say "NO!" Automatically instead he will help the person. Why because, in Joe's religion it is Principle to forgive however, do not forget and to love thy enemy. This person is "touched" by Joe's forgiveness and understanding that they become friends. Principle rewards you.

However, lets say John on the same day has the same circumstance with running into someone he really does not like for the same reason as Joe and asked for help. Now John is hates the guy and cannot stand him. So he would prefer to say no and because, John leads the life of preference he says to him "No!" Now his enemy is really ticked off at him ad they fight. John rewarded himself by getting revenge and now he is rewarded with revenge. For sake of not letting this go any worst lets end it right here because, as we all know a fight can get worst before it gets better.
