I agree Kimberly! I wish more people would live by the Golden Rule too! Sigh!
The one political candidate who is stirring people up in exceedingly negative ways, would not have gained any traction if people hadn’t forgotten this basic element of life!
Very good post. Wish there were more “good” news reported so we do know, for a fact, people of this world have not lost the sense of right and wrong. I think ordinary people do heroic things every day, but the press doesn’t find it to be valuable information because it’s not juicy news.
I can’t agree more! As a journalist, I too know that a bad story sells well more than good and it is only bad that we keep hearing because of that. I can relate to this post because I too have a moral compass. I did not copy in my college days even though 100% of my classmates except me did it. I was criticised for it but I never copied and had some sense of pride about it. Felt good reading about this subject. Visitor from A-Z here. Do drop into http://www.malavikka.blogspot.com
Malavikka, it’s a pleasure to meet a journalist with a moral compass intact! Taking the high road is hard, and when there are corporate pressures to bend to their desires it can be difficult to resist! Kudos!
Fantastic post Tamara. It is reallly hard to do the right thing at times but once you start practicing your true moral compass I findit gets easier to act on it. 🙂 @Daisy from Daisyinthe willows
Well, there appears to be quite a number of people who have either disengaged or just thrown away their compass! You’d think that it would be a difficult thing to do, but seeing how many people have apparently done this, I’d say it’s a fairly easy task to accomplish!
I agree, this political season has been more difficult to watch than most. I wish more people actually ived the Golden Rule.

Thank you!
Sigh! All the juicy bad news unfortunately helps to create an impression that doing bad is okay and normal, that EVERYONE does it.

is a moral compass actually an option? I thought everyone has one 😉 it comes in a package with the human being thing… 😉
