Moral Relativity

I woke up thinking of moral relativity and the relation of the strange conflict between thought and action, and I allowed my imagination to drift toward a bizarre confluence, which appears to have something of the twilight anxiously splashing around it: Action is violent, vulgar, rough thought; thought is a flickering, dreamy, abstract, questioning and somewhat and somehow independent. If we are going to lead lives of goodness and holiness is it not necessary and important for us to understand our own individual thought and action process as we proceed with our daily ritual of trivial and trifling actions, of seeing, talking, and
resting. As Christians we believe in a beautiful mystery which provides a wonderful foundation of truths and thoughts, and that the beauty of our faith encourages us to involve the entirety of our being in actions that are loving, altruistic, ethical, moral. Our lives should contain a fairness and respect for all in both thought and action (as our thoughts develop and encourage us to be more active servants for God, the deeper our love universal becomes). Being Christian surrounds and clothes us with a mystery, the greatest of all mysteries in which we are called to remember, respect God’s love and sacrifice for each one of us. All that we do in our daily lives should reflect our reverence for this mystery.

We have intelligence. We can produce great metaphors and analogies. We must always be conscious of our behavior and the effects of our behavior. As Christians there must be just, intelligent moral actions in our daily lives. Do not try and hide behind individual thought; instead rejoice in prayer to God.
