Moral red Road

I was talking to a very dear friend of mine recently.
Part of the subject is the Moral Red Road that we walk, today, I recieved a beautiful red, beaded bracelet that she had made for me, SYMBOLIZING just this.
Morals-a subject most are raised with. Peoples parents instill in them, through there upbringing there own set of values and morals. To share, to be honest, take care of the elderly, follow the ten commandments-essentially, plus some. Well, these are a few examples of morals that I was raised to have.
As a person, a little person, who is moldable and receptive grows into there own big person, there own grown set of morals develop. Things that are important to them, that they follow in there own life, independant of parental morals.
I have always, even as a teenager, decided what my morals where going to be. First and foremost, in order to salvage the crazy emotionally fraught relationship with my Mother was, NOT to lie. Always tell the truth. Even if it something that you don't want to do, or something that may sting. This has never gone wrong.
Secondly, a moral that I developed for myself, along the way, on my red road, is not to cheat. If you do, you either live with it, and it eats you up inside, or you eventually get found out, finding nothing but pain and destruction for your love relationship. Not worth it. Not ever. Not even looking. This is the most important one to me, because I value love above ALL ELSE.
This also goes for being the other woman. Won't do it.
Take care of your friendships.This goes without saying,friends are family.
SO when you get down to it.Get down to it. Pick your morals and stick by them. Not only will they create healthy boundaries for in your life, you will never have to question whether or not you feel like shit. Because if you follow your Red Road, you won't.
