Matters of Morality Part 1

Life would be so much easier is I didn't know everything. Admittedly, that sounds conceited, but what i mean is that it would be easier if I wasn't always so sure of myself. If I wasn't right 9 out of 10 times. I know what I like and don't like. I know what I believe and don't believe. I know what I agree and disagree with, I stand by it, and little can be done about it. In alot of situations this can be a positive thing. It is because of this that I rarely doubt my faith. It is the reason I handle crises well. I can make a clear decision quickly because I have already decided in my mind how to react. However, also because of this I am stubborn. This is not a secret, and I get myself into arguments far too often. People often expect me to have the answer, the best answer, the right answer. This becomes so difficult when they're questions of morality. Almost all of my choices are based on my discernment of right and wrong; based on my collection of values. Unfortunately, these don't always line up with everyone else's. In fact, most of the time my bar is set so much higher, and stronger. I don't regret it though, and I have very few regrets because of it. But sometimes I feel like I'm looking down over everyone else and I can predict what will happen. And I can give my opinion or say what I think needs to be said, but everyone does there own thing anyways, and more often then not, they burn for it. Nobody learns from their mistakes anymore. We almost anticipate and plan around mistakes and then when they occur we quickly overlook them. Life would be so much easier if I could just overlook all of this.
