Morally Wrong Research Paper

Improved Essays
I thought I was in love, so I got married and had three kids. Eventually, I found out, I was no

longer in love with my husband. So I begin to see someone whom makes me happy. Wouldn’t

my happiness be the most important thing? No!

When I made the decision to see someone, outside of my marriage, I became an adulteress.

Though I found many “falsehoods” to make my situation morally correct, I knew I was acting

morally wrong. When I took my vows of marriage, I made promises that are wrong to break. I

vowed to be faithful to my husband and I broke that promise.

I became morally wrong in many ways with my actions. I hurt my husband, children, family

members, friends, and the man I started seeing. I caused feelings of betrayal,

Adultery hurts, and it is never okay to hurt anyone.

My emotional well-being was not the most important. I acted unethically when I did not

consider the emotional abuse I would be putting everyone through with my actions. My parents

are Christians. So, I was raised to be a good person. I was raised to be faithful and honest. I was

taught to live and act in a moral manner.

From my family’s religious beliefs, I also acted wrong. From our beliefs, I committed many

sins. Adultery, lust, harm, and dishonesty. I can be redeemed for my actions. But I must admit

my sins and ask for forgiveness from those I hurt as well as God. I also must never repeat my

awful actions again.

There are many religions that view my adulterous actions as wrong. From what I know, most

religions have very similar views on the sins I committed. In Hinduism, my actions would be

viewed as adultery, corruption, and loss of self-control. From the Hindu perspective, my sexual

energy was out of control resulting in confusion, stress, fear, secrecy, guilt, anger, and

misunderstandings. It would now be believed that I have a karma to carry that will affect many

generations of my family and

    Hi Peeps, Today's Quote "Be nice, forgive yourself for making mistakes and then forgive others as you ask God to forgive you, so you can move forward with your life, to grow in grace, mercy, and peace." ~ Jon Barnes Successful Being honest, helpful and successful is about enjoying the love God has given you to share with others and monitoring the successful impact your good work, words, and wisdom has on loved ones, friends and strangers. You cannot do this while living in the past, carrying all of the hurt, disappointments, misunderstandings, and confusion from your heart into the next new great thing you should be doing. Stop hoarding the hate, which deteriorates you body, mind, faith, and soul.…

    As a society, it is our duty to protect and care for those that cannot do so for themselves. We owe it to the older generation to protect them when they are at their weakest. So why do we see year after year a rise in incidents of senior abuse? Doesn’t this show that we as a society have failed at protecting them? The writers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette acknowledge there is something “very wrong with a society that allows the weakest and most vulnerable members of its society to be preyed upon” (“Nursing Home Horrors: Abuse of the Vulnerable is Sickening,” 2017, para. 1).…

    Repentance is another important factor in achieving redemption. It is more spiritual than asking for forgiveness for things you have wrongfully done. God has to be put first and there has to be a change of heart. There has to be willingness to abort any sin and admit their faults, then emotional peace can be achieved. Individuals are neither born good or evil, but display equal capability for both.…

    The first topic Paul J. Kim talks about that affects me is how people are not perfect. Adam and Eve ate from the tree that God told them not to eat from, leaving people born after them with original sin. Original sin is passed down when someone is born and can be taken away with Baptism. This is how other types of sins were let into the world. Sometimes, we just do things without thinking about how it will hurt others close to us and affect our relationship with God.…

    “True leadership is modeled by those who live by proper application of Godliness and principles found in the Word of God, and being consistent with those principles that they teach” (M.Moore, et. Al, 2003). Readings state that Nixon knew about the Watergate Espionage operation before it happened but he tried to cover it up, raising “hush money” for burglars, and in a persistent effort to stop the FBI from investigating the crime. Was it biblical to pardon him? Was it ethical?…

    Do positive ends justify unethical means? That is a question we may all have to answer at some point in our lives. We all try to live our lives in an ethical way and uphold our moral values, but there may come a time when we will have to push these values aside to achieve the desired result. However, there is a catch, if we do not succeed, we may be condemned for our actions and ultimately lose.…

    My interest in the Naval Academy and the fleet began as just another college option. I have not had any family member serve in the Navy and was rather indifferent to military service, other than my admiration for the men and women who serve. As I continued to explore my options, the Naval Academy remained on the backburner until I visited for the summer STEM program two years ago. As soon as I first walked on post, I instantly knew I loved it--the beautiful old architecture, the shimmering blue water, and the white-clad Midshipmen marching crisply down Stribbling. This past summer, when I visited again for NASS, I decided the Naval Academy was the one for me.…

    Introduction Repentance and forgiveness are not only crucial aspects of coming closer to Christ but are also crucial aspects in coming closer together as a family. However, the world often views forgiveness as a weakness, or an inhibitor in progression, as it encourages more mistakes in marriages. Yet according to the doctrine of Christ, both repentance and forgiveness are required to be able to form a healthy relationship with our Heavenly Father and also a healthy relationship with others.…

    Going through this survey I did not think that there would be very many cases where I would consider myself unethical, but there was one and I want to discuss it first. It was the one about the car insurance. This has actually happened to me before and I claimed the maximum amount even though I did not even plan to repair my vehicle. It was a small dent on my vehicle and some repair shop estimated it to be around $1000 to fix.…
