Moral Ethics

If we talk about morality, we often think it as a behavior that guided by rules.But if

we only focus on behavior and rules is not enough to see the big part of moral
reflection.When we talk about action that someone did, we often see it as something that
outside our reach. While action is expressions of a person and moral goodness is a quality of
the person, not only rule-keeping behavior but also cultivating certain virtues, attitudes, and
outlooks. We often forgot to think about the reason that someone did an action, instead we
judge them by their action first.This etchics of being focused on what make the person
perfoming actions rather than the action itself.
As a Christian, we must see the moral goodness from wide shape and not focusing
only on rules because Christian moral life is a way of life guided by paradigmatic story of
Jesus Christ. In Christian context there’s a sentence that reflect ethics of being “What sort of
person should I become because I believe in Christ?”. We begin our morality by being a
good person in the imitation of Christ then, we are certainly called to do what is right as
Christians.
We can know someone is a good person by their behavior, because Interiority gets
expressed in behavior they did. If someone is a good person, we assume that he did a right
action.Like explained in biblical metaphor that the good tree bears good fruit and the bad
tree bears bad fruit. Ethics of doing is focused on the right action instead of good person.
Making a decision to gain the right action by resolve conflicts of moral value is the
perspective of Ethics of doing. We not only focusing on duties and act of someone but we
look also in circumstances which make the moral situation.
In Christian context, it asks, “What sorts of persons ought we to be, and what sorts
of actions ought we to perform by virtue of being believers of Christ?”. We must begin with
accept the mystery of Christ as the full revelation of God and accept the sources of faith as
valid sources of coming to the truth about God, being human and living in the world
because through that, we come to know God and know what God want us to be and to do.
