Being moral essay...Will you read it????? Tips please!?

For me, being truly moral includes justifying your actions, following your word, and telling the truth, at any cost. When you must do something morally wrong, you must be able to justify your actions. It would be morally wrong to skip m on Sunday. Some can not make it to m on Sundays because of a job, and skipping would be morally wrong. They would be able to justify missing m on Sunday by going on a different day when they do not have to work. It is morally wrong to miss m but it can be justified it you miss because of a good reason, and by going to m on another day. Similarly you must follow your word, to be a truly moral person. If someone you know told you the negatives of illegal downloading, and told your parents, trying to get you to quit; you would be extremely upset if you found out they still were downloading songs and videos illegally. In the same sense, if you told someones parents about their wrongdoings, they would feel the same way. When we see others hypocrisy, we are able to fool ourselves into believing we are honest. Lastly hypocrisy and arrogance are alive, while truth is in short supply. If you found a large sum of money you would want to keep it. You should make an effort find the owner and return it. You should not pretend, cheat or steal for material goods. It may be easier to cheat on a test, or “borrow” money from a parent or a friend, but it will just degrade yourself. If everyone told the truth, their would be less scandal in the world. These principle: justifying your actions, following your word, and telling the truth, at any cost would make a person truly moral.
