THE NECESSITY OF INTEGRITY, MORALITY, ETHICS, GOOD MANNERS, VIRTUES...

Integrity, morality, ethics, and principled virtues are IMPERATIVE to our relationship with THE LORD *GOD*, and with all others...

When we are young, thanks to this world we live in, while we are taught the basics of living a ethical, and principled life, we don't give such things much thought, as we chase after that of the world, but as we grow, after we have seen the results of not living in such ways, after we have experienced the damage that non-adherence to such rends, we begin to see the sound sense, and sensibility in such, and for some, this comes very late in time...

Today, we are noticing, more and more, the ill effects of a society that has become so complacent that common manners, and respect are rare, let alone integrity, morals, ethics, and principles of virtues! Sure, there ARE those who are on the right PATH, but more, and more, common courtesy, along with other good behaviours are being tossed to the wind, BECAUSE the world is teaching us, and there are not enough VISIBLE, and AUDIBLE examples to REMIND us! We have ALLOWED disregard, and disrespect to foster, and breed, with results that are going to create a very troubled future...

I feel old when I think of how it used to be, which wasn't so long ago, when people were kinder, softer, and much more inclined to care about others! It isn't just me, there are people 2 decades younger than me talking about this very matter! It IS a sign of the times, and a sign that those who ascribe to goodness, OUGHT to BE DOING something to re-introduce the very precious necessity of living in ways beneficial for all!!!

I know School Teachers that are simply, frazzled, and dismayed by the lack of regard, respect, manners, and over all lack of caring from the kids they deal with day after day, not to mention their lack of interest in really learning! One I know said that daily, there are fights in the classroom, often caused by what someone posted on Facebook! Amazing! Sad thing is, it isn't just the kids, it began with the very Adults raising them...

Just going into a place of business, it is very rare to hear thank you, or any other pleasantry! It is just different, almost like all of a sudden, and it is worthy of consideration by ALL of us, that those of us who KNOW what is what, MIGHT drop some imperative seeds, in order to begin a new movement!!!

It is cool, it is common to hear people calling one another names, and the B word is way over-used by even those one would never expect to be doing so! It seems to be an endearment, but, really? So, females, from very young, to mid-age, LIKE being called a B, or ANY one enjoys being called by negative names??? Strange, just strange!!!

When regard, and respect are lost in societies, as we have seen in recent years, the way people deal with matters changes for the worst; instead of negotiating, or compromising, or rationalizing, there is frustration, shouting, anger, violence, hence, an increase in most areas of crime!!!

People are like, "Who cares"?, but know what?, we SHOULD care, because things are nearly out of hand! Do you really LIKE arrogant, rude, insolent, angry, intolerant, snotty, aggressive people in your face all the time? Unless those of knowledge, and understanding of WHY goodness of character, and behaviours step up to the plate, to remind others, it is going to get very nasty out there!!!

Just as the strong common thread of right behaviours, and conscientiousness ADD to societies, so do wrong ones TAKE from them! Listen, it is so out of whack that whole Families are bullies, mean, belligerent, rude, and on it goes, AND they are not even aware of their behaviours, BECAUSE they have been raised in such, and THINK that they are quite the normal representatives of society! It all BEGINS at home, and I tell you what, without *GOD* as the center, you know who has the power to influence!!!

LOVE IS THE LAW is being the least taught, understood, or embraced, and yet, IS THE MOST IMPERATIVE knowledge there is, FOR the good of all, and for the safety of all! THE LORD IS SPOT ON in WISDOM, and KNOWS what LOVE generates! WHO can deny the POSITIVES of LOVE?, yet in this time, innumerable are those that try to, and aim to!!!

The best way to instill LOVE is to BE LOVE, ESPECIALLY in the face of denial of it! Adults NEED to come into understanding of LOVE, which begins with *GOD*, and here is another problem, a great number of people have stepped back, away from HIM, and then, there are those that are involved in Church, or what have you, who live contrary to HIS WILL! It is a sorry mess that we have allowed to spiral, but we HAVE to take this enemy down, because it will be worse than we can imagine, IF LOVE continues to disappear from this world!!!

HOW does the world change? One person, one example, one good at a time, consistently, and persistently so! When all hell breaks loose, LOVE SHALL PREVAIL, even if it is denied, defied, and abused! LOVE NEVER FAILS, so *GOD* has spoken, so it IS! LOVE IS THE ANTIDOTE to the infectious wrongs in this world, and that will never change!!!

LORD be with us, and help those who KNOW THE TRUTH to spread it unceasingly, that those who MIGHT be brought into THE LIGHT, can be! We deserve better from one other, as we should VALUE one another as the SIGNIFICANT beings we ARE, CREATED IN the LIKENESS OF THE MOST HIGH, SOVEREIGN *GOD* ALMIGHTY, and because HE WILLS it!!!
