Importance of Morals and Values
THE IMPORTANCE OF VALUES AND MORALS IN ONE’S LIFE
Every one knows that life is precious – that life is important. We all protect our life because we care for it more than anything else. If life is so important, the values of life are even more important. Values are guiding principles, or standards of behaviour which are regarded desirable, important and held in high esteem by a particular society in which a person lives.
Values make up who you are. They define your character. That makes them important. People have many different values for many different reasons. Some have the same values, some may place more of a value on one thing than another. This is what differs us from one person to the next.
Values are shaped and formed through different circumstances; how you may or may not have been brought up; through any religious beliefs you may hold; or even from just personal likes and dislikes. I would define a true value or values for anyone person are those values which are unaltering. No matter what happens our thoughts and opinions on that value are unchanging. Other values may become stronger or diminish depending on changes of circumstances; religious beliefs and such like.
These unchanging values are at the core of who we are. And it is these values which shape our life and actions maybe even subconsciously
Circumstances and experience may both be the forces which shape our character but through that we institute our values. Values in a sense become the definition of the cumulative circumstances and experience that we have had throughout our lives. Through them they give insight into who you are.
Values are important. Without them we would be easily persuaded, moved, changed. Without them we would not have an individual identity, it would constantly waver and change like the tide. I will say again values are important; know your values: know who you are.
