Morality, why does it matter?

I have been thinking about this on my way too work. I heard about Chelsea Clinton response to a young reporter when question about her mom response to her father's affair with Monica. She said it wasn't the repoters business. Well is it? Or is it not. Does morality really matter? Does in matter in our everyday lives, does it matter in others? Is it something to be concerned of in the white house?



As much as I believe that the private lives of individuals should be sacred, I also believe that morality is a key component to every aspect of life, even in the politicians we choose to lead us. Morality is important. We need it to survive as a republic. Yes, that is what the US is, a republic. Without morality, we will be left with a chaotic state.

Morality keeps us in check. It keeps us focus on what is right and wrong. And making appropiate decsions. All can be moral, but not all can be righteous. Today, I as reading in Matthew about the servant that owed 10,000 talents to his master. He begged for mercy, and was given it. The master was moral, just in his treatment, but that same servant was immoral in the 100 pence owed him, taking the debtor by the throat. He had no morality in him.

The same when morality was ignored in the 1930's and 40's by the Germans. Although Hitler disliked the Jews, the treatment was far from moral. It was horrific. The same with the Kmer Rouge, in Cambodia. Morality was ignored and death, murder was perpetrated.

Now how can that relate to morality in the White House? If are leaders choose to ignore the fultility of pracicing morality, then, all will end in total chaos. Death by the most cruel attempts will be glorified. Life will be of no concern to any, to all. We will be mere drones.

Morality is important in every aspect of our life.
