Integrity, honesty, and doing the right thing even if it hurts you

2 posts in this topic

As the west becomes more secular they can become more personally immoral. While a religious person can have a belief of a higher being that can punish them watching them at all times to sometimes shove them in the direction of doing the right thing, a secular person doesn't. As such many secular people only do moral actions based on what is still in their instincts from how they were brought up, and the law. But if they can get away with it, many people will do immoral things for quick pleasure or personal benefit.

But doing things you know are wrong for pleasure and to get ahead is ironically just going to bring you more grief in the long run.

 

I suggest a video about why doing the right thing even if it hurts you, or the selfless thing, is ironically selfish, because it benefits you and your conscious in the long run.

 

hopefully with some sort of scientific data about it, since that can be seen as proof to secular stage people.

Hello Raze

Yup, a brilliant topic to cover. I'd definitely like to see a video on Actualised.org that delves into this area.

Also, you might like to hear what Ed Snowden had to say on JRE recently (video #1368)

There's a guy who did the right thing regardless of the personal cost.
