Most individuals face the dilemma of being authentic in a world where loose morals and lewd actions are celebrated. There will be many situations in life where the world may entice or even try forcing you into acting or behaving in a certain way that might be very different to your own values and upbringing. The justification being, ‘everyone’s doing it.’
So what do you do when in such dilemma? In every situation of your life, use your internal moral compass. If something does not feel right or makes your heart feel uncomfortable, give it up. That feeling of discomfort is your moral compass guiding your way of life with integrity.
Always turn to your values and you will never be wrong. Your job is not to convince the world on your integrity, rather it is to be in peace with God and your own moral conscience that the badness around you, did not make you lose your own goodness.
