Some people including MyLotters treat the moral values too exaggerately. Do you judge the others and why? Do you think that there is one low, one moral system and all arround must be blind follower? Can you really accept the right of the other person to choose? I am sick and tired of any forms of moral and mental dictature what i MUST and what i MUST NOT do...how about you? And do you think that the strict following of some moral commands mades the follower automatically a saint?

I think morality is great, maybe some moral people are saints, saints come in all different ways. I don't believe in imposing moral values on someone unless it is the universal kind, do not kill, steal etc, then it is the law that actually imposes these values on people anyway.

I agree with your disscusion heading. People are all to quick to judge others if they are not following the 'right path' or the path they themselves are following. Rather than accepting that we all have our own way and our own beliefs and more importantly, the right to have our own beliefs. I accept people for who they are and if they have a differ in opinion to my own I respect that and would not try to change their point of view as it is their own. It is fuuny that those who are quick to say they follow all the rules and stay on the so called 'correct path' are in fact the first ones to judge other people, when this itself is not a very nice thing to do. People should feel they can make choices that affect them and their lives without other people shaking their heads or looking down at them. We are all equal and should be treated as so. No one is perfect and no one should pretend to be, we all make mistakes but we learn from them. One should be avle to be themselves, and those who love you for being you are the people in your life that are true. Moral values are different for everyone, and why should we be sheep?

I love the title of your post. Too much morality and too little love. I think you ought to make T-shirts with that phrase on it. It might remind people that we need more love in the world, not more moral division.

Honestly some people do exaggerate their moral values. No one is perfect. I don't judge others because I would have to judge myself as well. The bible even says judge not lest you shall be judged. So, these christians out here that tote morality and strong sense of it, they seem to judge others because their morals are lacking. Isn't that judging? I think that morals in our society are at a low these days, but it is not for me to judge. I live my life as I feel is right.

I try to treat others how I would want them to treat me but I admit there are times that I have not always followed this guideline. And I have to admit that I have judged a person for things that they have done. I can't believe that anyone can really say that they don't judge another. Have you ever seen someone who was doing something that you didn't think was right? Or how about listening to the news about someone who is accused of commiting a crime? How about when you hear about someone that has beaten a child or even killed a child? I often express my anager about people who have hurt an innocent child. So yes I am guilty of judging others.

I think everybody has their own set of moral values and it isn't up to anyone to try to change a person to they way we think. Just because I think something is right and someone else thinks its wrong, doesn't mean I am really right. As long as nobody is being hurt, then I believe everyone has the right to their own morals.

I try not to judge others because they are just humans and aren't perfect after all. They are allowed to be that way.

whether you follow it or not , it still your choice.if you choose to be affected by any morality issues then you are but if you choose not not to then you won't get affected.these are guidelines for people to follow or else we will all be living in a chaotic society.it is a set of norms for each one of us to communicate and live accordingly in harmony.if let us say you are in someone's home and they have a set of morality to follow in their home, we have to follow and respect that eventhough we have a very different set of values personally then if we do not like what we experience in that home then we just simply excuse ourselves.you can still express your energy through this moral issues by choosing which one is useful for you and live it so you won't be tortured mentally by these issues.it is still up to you if you let yourself be affected by anything for that matter.it is not all that hard.

I don't judge others. And I think most people have lost site of this. From the Christian perspective, it is NOT OUR JOB to judge! We are supposed to LOVE others, FORGIVE others and HELP others. But really, WHO AM I to pass judgement on anyone? I'm no better than anyone else, so it isn't my role to judge them. it's my role to love people for who they ARE, not who I expect them to be.

I think it is more practical and better not to judge. The reason is that I have noticed that whenever I judge, it makes me unhappy for some time. And when I do not judge I am happy. I think some people feel inferior by themselves, if they judge they can feel better and normal. But this does not apply to me. Judging makes me unhappy.
