Ethics

I have a large system of ethics in my life. I am of course, not the brightest individual and thus do things that are stupid... a lot, but in general I try to adhere to a system of ethics that is completely inspired. I did not make up the ethics that I live by, I did not pick to which I would adhere. I try to keep my life consistent with the morals and system of ethics presented in the Bible. I am not someone that goes home and sacrifices animals or anything like that, but more someone that adheres to the New Testament teachings. The main system of ethics that governs my life comes across through the teachings of Jesus Christ. It contains of many things, from doing only things are not out of scorn or jealousy, to keeping prayer as a constant in my life. This system of ethics has come into my life through my parents indirectly as I was raised in the church. i was brought up this way and even before choosing to live my life according to this system of ethics i was taught to. I think that this is the best way to find a system of ethics because it allowed for general rules for life to be instilled in me from a young age while also allowing me to be the one who decided those rules. Generally when kids choose not to follow their parents system of ethics it winds them up in a bad way but in this case it was completely my decision to either follow the ethics presented to me or to find a new system to govern my life. I think that this overall has improved th quality of my life, which is all that i think anyone can ask from their ethics and moral codes.
