In Defense Of Mighty Morality
Author's
Note: We were reading Lord Of The Flies and my English teacher posed
the question.
Which is more important morality or government? No
this was not an essay. It was suppose to be a journal entry… but
it’s kind of more than that. These are my raw thoughts and if you
want to read a beautifully written essay go read some of my other
works, because you won’t find that here.
I think that the moral
values and the code of ones moral standings are more important,
because right and wrong are the basis of all decisions. In order to
survive you can't do it collectively. There is no moral way to live
collectively or rather there is no such thing as collective
surviving. Even if there was it's called an individual playing ones
proper role or doing his or her job in society. WITHOUT a moral code
one can't possibly know how to survive. They won't actually be
thinking, but instead he will be society's toy. He will be pushed
around by the government letting all their regulations influence him,
no matter right or wrong. All the government should do is make sure
ones basic rights are granted and it's not their job to police
peoples trade or to force them into doing anything, E.G. Prezbo and
his healthcare plans. However, the government is still important,
that is a baisic one. I'm a capitalist, so as little government
interference would be good, and their only real job is to keep order
by way of moral values, and rationality. A good government system
really requires good moral values in everyone and how everyone really
looks at things. Without reason and logic and moral values no one
will survive. The few great inventors, out there, would ultimately
disappear and now, you are left with a bunch of idiots ruling one
another.
