If you feel we have a morality problem these days?

Question

If your someone who believes that there is a real moral-corruption to what feels like the increase in the decline of relationship and personal-integrity (CHEATING, lying etc.)

What do you feel is the real cause? there are a lot of people-hurting the people they claim to love and care about. But the actions don't match up with the words. I'm sure some of you might know people. I mean "married dating?!" I just feel there is a lot of FRAUD going on.

So what do you feel is the real root cause, for I feel we don't recognize as a problems? are they problems anymore? or is it every man for them selves?

If you know it's gonna hurt your partner, crush your partner, just devastate them. And still do it with a secomd though really. From I hear is common.

Is that not a problem?

AND YES I KNOW THAT CHEATING AND LYING HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE LIFE BEGAN. BUT IT JUST FEELS LIKE IT'S AT A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL NOW!

AND THIS NOT JUST A QUESTION ABOUT MARRIAGE!!!

I REPEAT! NOT JUST A QUESTION ABOUT MARRIAGE!!

DON'T NEED TO MARRIED TO BE SCREWED OVER!!

Answer 1

People who treat their partner badly are not thinking of anyone else but themself.This type of person does not care if their actions impact negatively on another.This type of person is not only morally bankrupt they are also overdrawn.Cheaters and liars have a different value system than the majority of people.They have standards,it's just that their standards are very low.Why do these people act like this? Perhaps their only role model for relationships was their parents.To some they may have witnessed bad behaviour in their parents relationship and think it is normal.Some people have ben hurt from a relationship and carry that hurt and anger into their relationships and their partner suffers for it.Sometimes people just do bad things just because they can.They won't take ownership for their weak moral character but will readily blame others for their poor choices.I don't know if this makes sense to you but I don't think there is one single reason for moral decline.

Answer 2

ok, so this isn't so much about morality in general but about lying and cheating, right?

i don't think it's any more common, people just didn't used to "air their dirty laundry" as readily as they do currently.

"If you know it's gonna hurt your partner, crush your partner, just devastate them. And still do it with a secomd though really. "

well, i think my husband put it really well. it's not so much that they *mean* to hurt their partner, but that they want to do what they want to do and they choose to *ignore* the fact that they are going to hurt their partner.

but no, overall I don't think it's any worse now than it's ever been. people have been lying, cheating, murdering, raping, stealing and corrupting for as long as civilization has been around. as soon as we evolved to the point where not everyone had to be spending every single moment of their short lives searching for food, we started getting ourselves tangled up in dramas of other sorts, always wanting more, wanting different.

Answer 3

Cheating and lying has always occured. One issue it ends marriages moreso than it used to is because women are more independent now (than decades ago when few worked outside the home) so feel less trapped in unsatisfactory marriages. At one time if they wanted to leave their husband, they had nowhere to go and no way to support themselves, now that's not the case.

Unfortunately, the above also seems to have led to more women cheating than used to, because they come into contact with more men through work and their daily lives AND if their marriage falls apart they can usually still go on, on their own so don't have as much to fear as a cheating housewife might have, who had no job skills or way to support herself if her husband divorced her.

People in general seem to be living more by the "If it feels good, do it" motto,even if "doing it" harms others physically or emotionally. Seems we have become a society that is more self-absorbed and selfish (in general).

Answer 4

I agree with you 100 %. People now a days do not value morals as much as they did back then. Today, people are so desensitized by the media, that they just believe that being immoral is the norm. I feel that the media can possibly be the root cause of these problems. They make us feel like it is okay to do these things such as lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, etc.

Answer 5

Yes, I feel that too because it's happening to me. I used to think I was the world's most faithful person when it came to a relationship. I said that if I ever wanted to cheat on someone then I would get out, but now I'm afraid to get out. I know cheating is wrong, but I still think about it. I'm asking the same question. Love stinks.

Answer 6

If you want to destroy your loving relationship, even if you are soul mates you only have to say two words "I do" marriage is the biggest lie on earth. That's why everyone is lying and cheating because they get married and they are no longer in love!!!
