“Morality is not a ritualistic obedience to a code of behavior imposed by an external authority. It is rather a healthy habit pattern that you have consciously and voluntarily chosen to impose upon yourself because you recognize its superiority to your present behavior.”
The word is ‘moral’ but I firstly want to know from this whole world, do they know the meaning of ‘moral’? I think the answer would be ’No’.
A line or a sensible sentence cannot necessarily be the answer. It is true. Want to find an answer? Leave living selfish lives, start giving little- little benefits to your surroundings. I do not mean to say that you should change yourself in a moment. You can’t, but you should gradually develop the habit of going deep.

Imagine, when you get a good thrashing from your parents, you don’t feel like talking to them. You want to run away. But just think, if you hit a dog on the road with a stone, it is going to tell you that how bad it felt about it. You can share your feelings with your friends at least. But no one is there for the dog. How can it take revenge?

If you concentrate, your life is full of luxury. You are comfortable. You are lucky enough to sit on a chair in a sophisticated society and have bed to comfort your body; companions to share yourself; delicious foods to satisfy your hunger. But as far as animals are concerned, they got nothing of that sort. Hey, I do not want to bore you because these sorts of things are considered to be boring today. You have got voice by god’s grace. Do you see many people in the world using their tongue sweetly? No, it is a bitter fact. People changing are changing their lifestyle and adopting western culture. But the western culture never says to leave kindness behind, become intolerant about anything, don’t respect elders, parents, teachers, your helpful brothers and sisters. Beat animals, tease the younger ones, abuse the poor as they are not of your standard, etc. Never, never and I repeat again never. No culture teaches you this, neither any religion. Only we, the people of this sweet and vast world are destroying one another.

We human beings are torturing and forcing one another to behave in a rash manner. Conduct an imaginary survey of yourself as an object and see, if anything tragic happens with you, what would you do? If you can get badly hurt then why not others can get the same? Behave in such a manner with others as you want them to behave with you.
If you conduct yourself in a proper manner, the Almighty will reward you one day or the other.

You are blessed with marvelous gifts, your brain in your head and your heart in your chest. You can define brain and heart. Use them well.
Someone has truly said that “when you sleep, you dream life as a beauty, but when you awake, take it up as a duty.” Remember, be humble kind, sweet, sophisticated, generous, helpful, friendly, punctual and responsible to others in life. Give a chance to yourself to become a good person, a person with moral values and ethics. It will take time but it is not impossible.
Here are some quotes about morality which shows the right way to lead a meaningful life.
“The moral imperative of life is to live a life that detracts not at all from the lives available to those who will follow us into this world.”- Don Richardson
“True compassion is more than throwing a coin to a beggar. It demands of our humanity that if we live in a society that produces beggars, we are morally commanded to restructure that society”- Martin Luther King Jr
“Would you live with ease? Do what you ought, not what you please.”- Benjamin Franklin
