In the bible we find discussions of character, these ideals traits that resonate with the following of Jesus Christ such that the application of these traits results in a better world. These ideals are formed from the simple ideas of delving into the constructive traits of the human condition. That such actions in a certain context find themselves to provoke an opportunity in which the majority make the decision to feel worse off than before. It is in these that we can see the birth of guiding principles, and that just as a child solves the universe in pain-pleasure responses, an adult solves it with principles. To have a guiding set of principles is to form a duty, and in duty, it is to be done with zero care to the pain or pleasure response of the action that is next in line to be taken. We are honest as it is ideal to be honest and it aides the populace, and less so in a child’s discussion where honesty provides brownie points to be cashed in later.

Meditate.
