Being moral means to be mindful about the choices in life that have good or evil consequences. For
instance, some people believe that the highest good is to help people and harm as little possible. They
would make decision to spend their time and resources helping those who are in need. However, when
faced by some begging, they may decide not to give money if they alcohol, but instead give them food
or direct them to a shelter to avoid enabling a drug addiction.
