Two Lefts, One Right, A Wrong, and There You Are!

Morality is a tricky beast, more I think now then ever before. Morals are a tuff sell, government and religion both tried to instill it while ignoring it. So we rely on other ways. Parents were good, but they seem to have gotten soft with each generation, my father threatened with the belt or Father Baker's, now kids threaten the parents with Child Protective Services. And even tv, my shows had morals of the stories, now it seems like the writers are all stoned.
For my part, I had parents who were great with instilling morals. And it has brought me alot of strife, turning the other cheek. Friends who were confused at some of my actions. Coworkers who have wondered why I put up with crap without doing anything but smiling or walking away.
And I would like to point out I am not perfect. I have broken moral lines in my past. Done things that I regret, to my own family no less. And yet I am not also upset at times when I have done it.
One such example of me not being shamed about is it when I took a shot at a cousin of mine. He did alot for me in my life, but he also did alot to hinder my life, and what makes it worse is he doesn't see it. So the one time I took a cheap shot at him, called him out, it left a sour taste in some of my family's mouth. But I wont apologize for it, he doesn't deserve it. Is this me, no. But at the same time I need one shot in.
I believe morals are still necessary. They are needed now more than ever in politically corrupted and spoiled world. To many are have forgotten it.
This one is Dedicated to my two amazing sisters, both of whom remind of my morals. Neither are ones you would expect to find it in, but they have strong moral compasses. Thank you both!
As always thanks for reading!
