I was on twitter today and I saw the following tweet by what I assume is a celebrity on the main page of the site:-
'Don't say sorry for anything that made you smile' or something alone those lines!
I really dislike saying like this. I think it is completely out of touch with reality. Some may think I am being silly for blogging about what is, to some people, a throwaway comment but I believe that people truly take encouragement from such comments and go and do whatever you want and it doesn't matter who you hurt in the process.
Sayings like this have helped turn Britain into a temple of selfishness and despair.
Does it mean that Hitler shouldn't have said sorry for his crimes if it made him smile?
Is pedophilia right if it makes them smile?
Of course it isn't.
In today's world it is hard to define morality as there is so many different versions flying about, one opinion against another. My way of looking at it is that, as fellow humans, we cannot impose our opinions on each other because we are equal and does anyone know best?
So the way to define what is right goes back to the start, it goes to a higher power who does know better. It goes down to what God has said.
Jesus (who is God) summed up God's law in this:-
Luke 10:27
He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ ; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
