Forming One's Principles: A Variety of Contributing Aspects

Days, Months, and Years. Individuals consistently categorize the life around them between two

aspects; right and wrong. As time passes, the people we move with hugely influence our virtuous,

whereas we are indistinctly able to adapt them, thus continuing to practice it, among others. Shreds of

evidence of how humans built-up each of their moral standard correlating the withstanding impact of the

nearest circle around them is profoundly accessible. With regard to the cornerstone of our principles,

earning different things in their particular view while discerning which right or wrong hugely

encompasses what we are in the present.

One ought to grasp how they would act toward others, either to people, to society, or even to the

environment. In accordance with D. Abun (2014), a human is called a rational being, and all his actions

are not guided by instinct but by reason. Each of us possesses aim as to how we intend to interact with

here and there, consciously behaving to the norms we uphold.

As I grow up, I learned to attain various characteristics taught by the people I consume my time

with. Before doing anything, a query is raised, particularly concerning if it is right or wrong. The

accustomed values I own constantly ripple to the manner of how I associate. Several actions are perceived

into two, either acceptable or unacceptable, in terms of the moral standards of humans. Keen examination

with these two resulted in awareness. Some specific people tend to act impulsively, therefore, ending to

an unpleasant outcome. For instance, the government incorporates corrupt politicians still; their

wrongdoing is not apprehended appropriately. Hence, with these negative phenomena comes with

positive deeds. Even though the place where we hang on seems to be darkened, light is still shed by

individuals who decide to act justly.

With the capacity to contrast the good and evil, I choose to perform things that would thrive not

only me but also the people that surround me. Before I change other's viewpoints of what is proper, I

would initially begin to myself. The Golden Rule; I acquired this upon the observance of the world
around me. It is the principle of treating others as you want to be treated. "If you were to treat those

around you with human virtues — such as friendliness, respect, politeness, love, and loyalty which are

then conducted with integrity — then don't you think others with similar morals would begin to treat you

the same way (J. Harvey, 2016)." People are inclined to reciprocate the gestures you bestow to them.

Another trait I have gained is humility as I permit myself to embrace that I am not regularly right,

wherein I bear accountability for my faults. Seeking justice is merited too as it is so much fulfillment to

witness individuals gain equal chances, whereas everything is upright because each of us is entitled to

fairness. The aforementioned attributes are just some of the morals I earned as I practice these

continuously whilst aiming to be adapted, and escalated thoroughly.

One cannot decide what to choose; this certainly happened to each of us. An occurrence where

we are torn of what to select for any of the accompanied outturns are both displeasing. As per described

by Ø. Kvalnes (2019), moral dilemmas are situations in which the decision-maker must consider two or

more moral duties but can only honor one of them; thus, the individual will violate at least one crucial

moral concern, regardless of the decision. The inevitability to be defied with this situation force an

individual to test his or her character. As this befalls, we respond to our intuition with the anticipations of

doing the much valid action compared to the other. When my brother and I bolted away from our house to

play without notifying our parents, my brother injured himself. Encountering such a struggle, we had

come up with the decision of informing our parents for my brother's wounds to be aid even though it was

affiliated with their anger. Personally, confronting these circumstances as I succumb to the difficulty of it,

in the end, I still need to come up with a conclusion, thus meeting the ends of my choice.

Procuring certain ideals does not only emerge around the people we have contact with. It can

arise with the associated culture we grew up with whereas introduced by our parents that are actually

viewed in the community. Years of advancing, I have been witnessing the observance of various religious

practices in my homeland, Philippines; therefore, a Sunday is unsurprisingly conformed to a family day in

church. It is always fascinating to see every member of the family clearing up their hectic schedules
precisely for that day. It opened my eyes to how spiritual things must be significant to human lives, that a

ruler of the universe must genuinely be out there, taking delight in acts of worship that are good in His

perspective.

Another noteworthy characteristic of Filipinos is their being hospitable. Here is when hidden

furniture, fittings, and other decorative accessories adorned the house, new curtains and carpets laid and

sets of glassware that are usually trapped inside the cabinets finally made their way out serving the best

foods present at the time in the kitchen or maybe buying to the nearest sundry store, or even listing it to

the vendor's notes as a debt just so to have something to prepare on the table. Bearing in mind what is

accustomed to my parents, I make sure to at least serve a drink and snacks whenever a visitor comes to

our house, a manner of extending familiarity to strangers or as a simple cordial to acquaintances and close

friends.

Down to a personal favorite is the inclusion of "po" and "opo" when communicating to elderly

mayhaps to anyone with authority in honor of formality and definitely the "mano"—a distinctive gesture

of showing respect. By doing so, I am constantly reminded to pay high regard and esteem to those older

in age, requiring a low view in front of these respectable people whilst acquiring a valuable disposition to

embrace humility. Pleased to append another trait is the honesty of many, imagine handing over a

transportation fee to total strangers until it gets to the driver, which is a typical scene you would see in

public vehicles, mainly the known ones named jeepneys.

"From the moment of a child's birth the customs into which he is born to shape his experience and

behaviour. By the time he can talk, he is the little creature of his culture, and by the time he is grown and

able to take part in its activities, its habits are his habits, its beliefs his beliefs, its impossibilities his

impossibilities (R. Benedict, 1934)." Similar is the case of primarily fitting to the growth of what is firmly

embedded in each Filipino today. Our fundamental beliefs and the standard templates we imitate are

conventionally being taught and transferred to forthcoming generations through direct teaching, but we

also obtain much off guard.


Any moral inculcated with us can only be valuable when put into the manner of practicing it. In

correspondence with The Wisdom Post & Sophia (2020), the efficacy of apprehending, and cultivating

fair values is not to hold them deep within but to put them into action whenever and wherever they are

required. These were formed with the corresponding resemblance of the community and the culture we

possess. This is the foremost assistance on how we are obliged to deal with the occurrences that befall in

our paths. Still, our principles are subjected to change. Hence we ought to instill the well-being of the

people surrounding us as it must be for something preferable by many, not the contrary. As we delve in

refining the standards we currently uphold for the common good of the people, it will mirror the

progression of the place we reside in.
