When you do the moral thing,

[MrDawn]

Are you doing it for a religious reward, to relieve guilt, or for what?

What are your reasons for wanting to do the right thing?

 

[astutimeliana723]

I do the moral thing for all the reasons you mentioned, especially for religious gifts. Because in my religious belief as a Muslim there will be life again after death. So, I have to do a lot of good as a provision for life after death.

I do this so that good should trump evil. I have my conscience so I try to be good as I can

People may choose to do the correct thing for a variety of reasons, such as personal ideals, moral principles, society conventions, legal requirements, or empathy for others. Some people may also feel a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction from doing what they believe is right, or an urge to prevent unpleasant repercussions from doing anything wrong.

 

[cherry123]

it is always good to be humane by doing the tight thing not just for yourself but for humanity

 

[Stardom22]

I mostly do for my religious benefits

 

[AUFred]

Religion is a consideration but I always believed you should treat others as you wish to be treated. Morals are a standard.

….we all have our own ‘moral guide or moral compass’….our own life rules as it were…and in following those, they’re always guiding our actions and reactions etc…so there is no reason as such, for me anyway…I always try to be true to who I am and that’s the only reason…I try to consider different/all perspectives of things and how it all is and feels for others…but most/many of us do that, I would say….

 

[Springtime]

I feel happy when I am able to help others. There's a saying that giving is more rewarding than receiving. I find it very true.

 

[System32]

Because I feel better.

 

[magnus2022]

I am doing the right thing because I have conscience and I believe is the right thing to do.

 

[relcap23]

I do it because I feel good doing it. Doing evil will have its consequences. You reap what you sow.
