What is a moral center?

Question

What are some examples of moral centers? What is the actual definition of a "moral center"?

Answer 1

Your moral center is the belief base from which you derive your moral code. For instance most Christians would say that their moral center is the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

The letter R.

OK....That was a joke. In reality, your moral center refers to that part of your personality that can engage in considering the consequences of behavior for yourself and others.

Most people, in the moments when they are being their best selves, have the experience of clear thinking and choosing ethically sound actions.

People often know when they've done wrong. People also often choose things that are for the good of the community instead of themselves. People choose restrain their angry emotions. These acts draw upon your moral center.

Don't go looking for a moral center next to your neighborhood churches. Look inside yourself.
