WEBVTT 00:00:15.719 --> 00:00:18.620 So, just throwing this out there as it's 7 a 00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:22.940 .m., here's a little food for thought. Has nothing 00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:24.820 to do with my previous recording, and I will 00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:29.899 get back to my topics on morals, but let's have 00:00:29.899 --> 00:00:34.460 a quick five -minute session here, a quick episode 00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:38.460 here, if you will. Think about this. Without 00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:42.170 the morals that we have, The morals that most 00:00:42.170 --> 00:00:44.390 people were raised with. Now, I don't know about 00:00:44.390 --> 00:00:47.030 people current day or anyone in this current 00:00:47.030 --> 00:00:50.189 time frame, but I know. Anyone raised before 00:00:50.189 --> 00:00:52.850 2008, anyone who was born before then were raised 00:00:52.850 --> 00:00:57.850 with their morals. And then they know the difference 00:00:57.850 --> 00:01:01.770 between right and wrong. The basic ties of life, 00:01:01.950 --> 00:01:07.750 you know. Basically, what is true love? What 00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:10.870 does it mean to care for somebody? What respect 00:01:10.870 --> 00:01:15.069 is, morality, dignity, self -righteousness, self 00:01:15.069 --> 00:01:19.769 -respect. Respect for your elders, respect for 00:01:19.769 --> 00:01:22.590 your future wife, and for your parents, you know. 00:01:23.769 --> 00:01:26.430 These are things people no longer consider anymore 00:01:26.430 --> 00:01:31.290 nowadays, and it's kind of sad. Everybody should 00:01:31.290 --> 00:01:34.890 have morals. In some way or some form, it has 00:01:34.890 --> 00:01:37.909 to be instilled, whether it be through direct... 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.260 teaching through somebody who knows, a sidelining 00:01:42.260 --> 00:01:45.060 person who's helping other people learn who didn't 00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:48.560 know, like myself, whether it be through punishment 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.040 or through the district court system. I mean, 00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:56.780 it's something everybody should know. I mean, 00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.719 if you're letting your kids run around and do 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.439 whatever they want because the law says so, just 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:04.239 simply because you're afraid to punish them because 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.500 you don't want to end up in jail, then You're 00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:11.340 not a very good parent. It's through discipline 00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:13.659 that we were able to learn and do what we're 00:02:13.659 --> 00:02:16.240 able to do now. Now, despite how you feel about 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.460 your parents carrying that out or how they went 00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:24.379 about it, that just depends. Just because you 00:02:24.379 --> 00:02:28.280 don't want to go through what you went through, 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.680 you don't want your kids to go through that, 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:33.950 doesn't mean you don't discipline them. Okay? 00:02:33.950 --> 00:02:36.710 Whether you get whipped, spanked, yelled at, 00:02:36.889 --> 00:02:39.969 what have you, they're not beating their children. 00:02:40.189 --> 00:02:43.469 You need to keep this in mind. If they were beating 00:02:43.469 --> 00:02:45.509 their children, it would be consistently and 00:02:45.509 --> 00:02:47.810 consecutively. Like you would see the bruises 00:02:47.810 --> 00:02:51.949 on their body no matter what. But punishing your 00:02:51.949 --> 00:02:54.349 child, like putting them on their knees or whipping 00:02:54.349 --> 00:02:57.050 them with a belt or a switch is not the same 00:02:57.050 --> 00:03:04.379 thing. Consider Punishment, okay? Telling somebody 00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:06.759 they're wrong is one thing, but it doesn't mean 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.800 they're ever going to listen. And kids are known 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:16.340 to be stubborn. So, is punishment wrong? No, 00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:19.680 it's not. Matter of fact, it's the grounds and 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.159 the foundation of us even existing on this planet 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:23.939 in the first place. Because without punishment, 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.979 in some way or form, we don't know what is right 00:03:26.979 --> 00:03:29.569 and what is wrong. Now, how do you tell what 00:03:29.569 --> 00:03:31.830 is right and what's wrong? Well, if these same 00:03:31.830 --> 00:03:34.870 morals have been taught to you when you were 00:03:34.870 --> 00:03:37.550 young and they're being taught to the newer generation, 00:03:37.770 --> 00:03:41.330 those same morals and how it feels when something's 00:03:41.330 --> 00:03:44.189 not right dictate whether something is right 00:03:44.189 --> 00:03:46.990 or wrong. Like if you try to steal something 00:03:46.990 --> 00:03:50.830 from the store. Even though you know you want 00:03:50.830 --> 00:03:53.150 it and you want it bad enough, if there's even 00:03:53.150 --> 00:03:55.800 a moment of hesitation, Between you taking the 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.819 item and running, that means that you still have 00:03:58.819 --> 00:04:02.060 within you these very same morals. That you know 00:04:02.060 --> 00:04:05.879 stealing is wrong, lying is wrong, you know, 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.560 gluttony is wrong. If you're hesitating to do 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.699 anything, and you're not quite sure what to do, 00:04:12.780 --> 00:04:16.699 you know, whether it's right or wrong, you need 00:04:16.699 --> 00:04:19.259 to stop and consider something. And this is the 00:04:19.259 --> 00:04:23.180 thought for today. Besides... Everything else 00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:25.019 on the same topic that we're on right now. We're 00:04:25.019 --> 00:04:28.879 talking about morals. Is what I'm doing the correct 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.720 thing? Is it right? Is it righteous in God's 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.579 eyes for those who believe in God? Or rather, 00:04:35.699 --> 00:04:41.120 is it possible? Is it the right thing to do? 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:45.779 It doesn't matter what society says. What matters 00:04:45.779 --> 00:04:51.279 is what you think. Is it right? Okay? With the 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.759 highest authority being God Almighty himself, 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.959 you know, and if you do read the Bible, which 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.560 over 75 % of the planet does, whether they believe 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:09.779 it or not, you know, it's not. So, consider this. 00:05:10.660 --> 00:05:11.920 Enjoy the rest of your day.
