Do we all have a moral compass each?♦

Today an interesting thought came to me, "would the world be much easier to live with if we all wore our moral compass as a badge on our hearts?"

We could all look at each others' and ourselves and to know if our actions are questionable or for the greater good.

Undoubtedly some of our politicians have lost theirs; or have chosen to ignore it. Have you ever wondered why majority of humans have intentions for the greater good? But then there are some who are only for themselves. In general each of us have a compass that points to the true north, just like a real compass (true north in this case is that represents all that is Good, honorable, and faithfulness, truth, selflessness as oppose to the south which represents Falsehood, selfishness, and evil intentions); and east and west represented as Lawful, orderly and structured versus unlawful, unpredictable randomness, and chaos.

For a while I do realize like the a real compass, our directions always changes depending on where we are heading. Sometimes, we have that recklessness that makes us cross the street instead of using the pedestrian overpass but often we be obediently follow the traffic lights and wait for the Green light even when there's no traffic around for the last 5 minutes.

If we spent some time reflecting on ourselves, perhaps we will discover once again our moral compass and follow the direction to true north. I would urge our politicians and leaders to ask of themselves are they following their compass? If they are, is their compass broken considering the amount of injustice and lack of fairplay in the Malaysian Society today.
