It's the community that helps form our moral compass. It's those attitudes that I've remembered through my entire lifetime.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up in the Midwest, so I have sort of an honorable moral code. But I moved to a city and joined a sort of fast crowd. A lot of people who grew up in the city sort of aren't aware of manners and other ways of life and 'common decency.'
Morality binds people into groups. It gives us tribalism, it gives us genocide, war, and politics. But it also gives us heroism, altruism, and sainthood.
Family and moral values are so central to everything that I am.
The moral landscape is the framework I use for thinking about questions of morality and human values in universal terms.
One of the most important parts of my life has been community.
Morality is the custom of one's country and the current feeling of one's peers.
I think your values are always influenced by your family and your community.
I place a high moral value on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the spirit.
The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.
Therefore the great mediator of any community is human morality.
