    The document discusses the difference between morals and ethics. It argues that to be truly moral, one must believe in the goodness of God and make decisions based on benefiting the community rather than one's own desires. It provides an example of having to choose a schedule in school and picking the option that makes the whole community productive and happy, even if it does not directly benefit the individual. The document concludes that we should consider what is good for everyone and forget our own desires, as being willing to give benefits others the most, and this is how true love works. It hopes that this type of goodness becomes a moral that everyone is willing to uphold.

    “YOU SAY MORALS, I SAY ETHICS”

    When can we say that you are objective to be moral? It is hard to find the answer to

    this question but the only thing I can say to feel that you are objective enough is to believe

    the principle of the goodness of God. To feel may be subjective but God will never give

    emotions if they are not helpful to find the truth of this world.

    When I was in first year high school, I do not have the grudge to complain the strict

    implementation of the formators but I still have in my mind the question that is it

    important to observe this kind of rule. Obedience is the easy thing for me at that time

    because I do not mind anyone in the community. Years later, obedience is not just the easy

    thing for me because there are some decisions that I need to consider for the good of all the

    members of the community. For instance, when we, grade 12 will have to choose whether

    film viewing is the schedule after dinner or study period for us to submit all the

    requirements on time. They are both good but we need to choose the schedule that makes

    the community productive and happy and we need to set aside our own desire to complete

    all the requirements by using the schedule after dinner.

    Sometimes, it is best to consider what is good for everyone and to forget your own

    desires because the more you are willing to give is the more you are willing to accept and

    that is how love works. You do not mind what are the achievements you will get but you do

    mind what are the benefits they will have when you are about to discern between two good

    decisions. All I want to say is to spread this kind of goodness that one day, it is not just

    ethics that only few are convinced but it is moral that everyone will have the courage to

    uphold it.
