One time when I told this guy I was agnostic he said, "You mean you don't believe in morals?!?" That really floored me. I was like, how do I even respond to such a statement?
I feel I have a very strict moral code and feel I'm quite spiritual. I try my best not to hurt or inflict anything negative on another person. I very rarely lie because I feel it will usually come back to me in some unpleasent way. But of course sometimes I do just like everyone else. I feel the same about taking something that's not mine. I also try to give people the benefit of the doubt and second chances, usually multiple second chances. Some people mistakingly believe that because I try to be forgiving and seek out the good in people that I won't stand up for myself. But just like everyone else I have my limits. I just try to handle things with as little negativity as possible, while trying to keep in mind that I deserve to be treated well too. Its not an easy balance.
