Moral problems and doubts

You all probably remember your childhood, your first thoughts about life and world that is around you and (even though you didn’t realize that) your first moral problems or more specific moral dilemmas. When writing this I have easily remembered my first fights with friends, brother and sister, after them I’ve always found myself in tight spot. Whether to choose easier way by saying:(A) “Yeah, it’s my fault bla,bla,bla…; Can we be friends again, please?” , or (B)you can force him to accept the fact that he’s the one who is guilty. This is based on a fact that he REALLY is guilty( this is maybe to strong word for a situation I’m talking about ). I have to admit, it is very hard to survive in world which is totally non-moral, especially if you were taught as I was in my youth – to be moral, to help others, to do everything in a legal and fair way. For me it is unusual to think that money and luck brings you happiness, but unfortunately today these two often are “winning combination”. For example, let me describe you one situation. There’s queue for basketball game tickets and you have been waiting for hours, but there will always be “I’m the only one on this world” persons who will just skip the whole queue pretending they don’t see where the row is. And then, I would just watch him and silently say: “That is UNFAIR” – but hey, who cares he made me feel like an idiot, when nobody won’t tell him anything, including me. That’s the right example of the cruel world that we’re living in. Children today adore bad boys, the ones who break rules, the ones who make us feel like idiots. There was one sentence that led me through me life: “Always try and do your best, because it will somehow pay off”. I thought it guarantees me success, but things are no longer as they used to be…
I’m not total pessimist, still people with high education are often given chance and they mostly work on a high-paid positions. I have to say it is HARD, really hard to work on the same position as someone who has given half smaller effort, but he still managed to be the same as I am, only because for example his father works in that company. I have been writing about my fights in childhood and about first moral thoughts, now it is time to write about more important things and actions. At one point of your life you can choose; there is at least once a chance to do something non-moral, it don’t necessary needs to be illegal, but something that people consider as unfair. This is the highest point of your moral, the hardest question you will have to answer. I’m asking you: “ Are you ready to do something non-moral, while everybody else are giving their all to do the same thing. Problem today is that there are lots of people who are ready to do everything to become popular and rich, no matter what that is. All real values are now gone and nobody care about that. So, people who have chosen A option in their childhood are people like me, they always think what will other think about them and that’s why they don’t do anything unfair to become successful and the ones who chose B option don’t care about anyone but themselves, they want justice only when it’s about them, and they break rules when it’s about others, the only positive thing about them is their determination; they are ready for everything it takes to become successful(even non-moral things). At the end I still don’t now which option to choose – being fair brings me clear conscience, being unfair and non-moral brings me richness. There is only one conclusion - world can only keep on going if there are more fair persons who aren’t sick about money and being famous. Of course it’s on YOU to decide. I can just wish you to be happy with decision you have taken.
