Hey all! =)
Just got back from school.
Mann .. history paper T.T
haihzzz ....
speechless
anyway,
wanna share an article
that really caught my attention
Title: Farewell To Morality
With deep sorrow, I regretfully have to inform the world about the sad
demise of Morality. She died recently after a long. slow illness. Morality was at least 2,000 years old. Her death was not unexpected, as her entire family has had a bad run in recent decades.
Morality's mother, Values, died in Wall Street in the 1980s.
Her father, Justice, was murdered in a contract killing by the world's highest paid lawyers at O.J Simpson's trial in
1995.
Morality herselft kept a low profile for the past 20 years, and now, at the time of her death,has been almost forgotten.
She is being mourned only in churches,temples, and other places considered " old fashioned and out of touch" by the majority of people.
But her death matters: none of her three children -
Integrity, Ethics and Humanity are likely to survive without her....
Such were my gloomy thoughts-looking through my diary last week. Three incidents led me to believe that morality had left us.
First, I saw a pair of trainee filmakers returning from an overseas trip with bags full of copied DVDs. They didn't seem to realise they had just robeed themselves.
Second, the headmaster of a high-class school gave a speech to his pupils telling them they must not steal things from other students " because you may get caught". He didn't realise that stealing is wrong even if you don't get caught.
Third, I was at a meeting where a senior university administrator told students: " Do not download pirate software onto university computers. It's fine to do that at home, but not here." Er, no, it isn't fine to do that at home, either.
In a moral world, we do the right things because it is the right thing to do. In a world without morality, everyone does whatever they think they can get away with: that's an ugly, scary place, but that's the world we are creating for ourselves.
But then came a piece of good news. A friend at the BBC told me that his organisation had commissioned one of the world's cleverest people, top Harcard professor Michael Sandel, to identify the biggest problem of today's world.
The boffin presented his conclusions at a series of talks called The Reith Lectures 2009, which you can hear free on the Internet. The current global crisis was not caused by subprime mortgage defaults, he said. It was caused by the dissapearance of morality.
But it can be revived, he added. The world has to engage in a debate " that engages more directly with moral and even spiritual questions", and allow that to lead human society to "moral and civic renewal".
I saw the pirate DVD collectors at the bar a few nights later. " Why aren't you at home watching your rip- off DVDs?" I asked. Their sad reply: " Someone stole our TV." I realised it would be immoral to laugh at their misfortune. But I couldn't help it. That was the second best bit of news I had head that week.
Justice may be dead, but there IS a GOD, and He has neat timing and the wildest sense of irony.

What do you think? Interesting right?
Now we know why in schools, we learn Moral. haha
In my opinion, this article is tryin to tell us to think of
what had happen to our Morality in life?
Even small kids these days,
as young as the age of 6 years, they are already using vulgar words/ bad language.
Shameful isn't it? tsk tsk tsk
I admit I'm no different from others.
I do use vulgar words/bad language at times.
But at least I don't use it as a daily life routine thing,
and I do try preventing from using them.
Take this as something to think about for this week. =)
Morality is not just at the range of language only.
There are more to it and we all know that.
Just that not many is bothered about it.
