So, just throwing this out there as it's 7 a
.m., here's a little food for thought. Has nothing
to do with my previous recording, and I will
get back to my topics on morals, but let's have
a quick five -minute session here, a quick episode
here, if you will. Think about this. Without
the morals that we have, The morals that most
people were raised with. Now, I don't know about
people current day or anyone in this current
time frame, but I know. Anyone raised before
2008, anyone who was born before then were raised
with their morals. And then they know the difference
between right and wrong. The basic ties of life,
you know. Basically, what is true love? What
does it mean to care for somebody? What respect
is, morality, dignity, self -righteousness, self
-respect. Respect for your elders, respect for
your future wife, and for your parents, you know.
These are things people no longer consider anymore
nowadays, and it's kind of sad. Everybody should
have morals. In some way or some form, it has
to be instilled, whether it be through direct...
teaching through somebody who knows, a sidelining
person who's helping other people learn who didn't
know, like myself, whether it be through punishment
or through the district court system. I mean,
it's something everybody should know. I mean,
if you're letting your kids run around and do
whatever they want because the law says so, just
simply because you're afraid to punish them because
you don't want to end up in jail, then You're
not a very good parent. It's through discipline
that we were able to learn and do what we're
able to do now. Now, despite how you feel about
your parents carrying that out or how they went
about it, that just depends. Just because you
don't want to go through what you went through,
you don't want your kids to go through that,
doesn't mean you don't discipline them. Okay?
Whether you get whipped, spanked, yelled at,
what have you, they're not beating their children.
You need to keep this in mind. If they were beating
their children, it would be consistently and
consecutively. Like you would see the bruises
on their body no matter what. But punishing your
child, like putting them on their knees or whipping
them with a belt or a switch is not the same
thing. Consider Punishment, okay? Telling somebody
they're wrong is one thing, but it doesn't mean
they're ever going to listen. And kids are known
to be stubborn. So, is punishment wrong? No,
it's not. Matter of fact, it's the grounds and
the foundation of us even existing on this planet
in the first place. Because without punishment,
in some way or form, we don't know what is right
and what is wrong. Now, how do you tell what
is right and what's wrong? Well, if these same
morals have been taught to you when you were
young and they're being taught to the newer generation,
those same morals and how it feels when something's
not right dictate whether something is right
or wrong. Like if you try to steal something
from the store. Even though you know you want
it and you want it bad enough, if there's even
a moment of hesitation, Between you taking the
item and running, that means that you still have
within you these very same morals. That you know
stealing is wrong, lying is wrong, you know,
gluttony is wrong. If you're hesitating to do
anything, and you're not quite sure what to do,
you know, whether it's right or wrong, you need
to stop and consider something. And this is the
thought for today. Besides... Everything else
on the same topic that we're on right now. We're
talking about morals. Is what I'm doing the correct
thing? Is it right? Is it righteous in God's
eyes for those who believe in God? Or rather,
is it possible? Is it the right thing to do?
It doesn't matter what society says. What matters
is what you think. Is it right? Okay? With the
highest authority being God Almighty himself,
you know, and if you do read the Bible, which
over 75 % of the planet does, whether they believe
it or not, you know, it's not. So, consider this.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
