Morality is not the sole domain of the Religions, but the domain of all people with conscience.
Thus, it does not require one to wear his God on his lips to show his righteous morality, but rather it requires that he wears his humanity and his conscience in all his actions.
The actions reflect his conscience and his morality.
A moral man is so, because of all of his past actions, but there is no guarantee that a moral man is guaranteed his morality for all his future actions.
Morality has been so long a war cry of the Religious to persecute merely those who are different in conscience.
Differences in moral opinions become Absence of conscience and humanity.
For this is not the way of any God's teachings.
God, in various forms, gave existence and life to human beings, it is not the right of any judges of morality to deny the value of those existence.
For God alone gives and takes away.

Consider the Taking of pains/burdens from another as Good, but one must also consider the worth of self-sacrifice.
It is unwise of a man to purchase every thing on sight, for he must consider the worth of the goods to himself and to those the goods must serve a purpose.
So it is with Good, that an equation of supply and demand must be considered, so that a man's doing of Good is applied where it is most needed, and where his is in most abundant of supplies.
It is pointless for a poor man to give money to a rich man, for the rich man neither needs it, nor will he cherish it.
Yet, the poor man will often have more of friendship and common wisdom, which the rich man will often crave.
For in that equation, the poor man and the rich man both have something that the other need, and something that they have abundance of.
In sharing, do they both not become better than when they were each alone?
This is not self-sacrifice, but rather follows the same laws of supply and demand as any commerce and trade.
But this is trade that does not place value in terms of money, and must come from mutual trust.
The rich man cannot BUY friendship with his money, but he can EARN it with his generosity and efforts.
When a man gives to those in need, he is naturally given the admiration and respect by others, somethings that money cannot buy.
And these give all men and women their self-worth, which is also not calculated in gold.

Without the individual, the collective has no strength.
Without the collective, the individual has no purpose.
Every achievement, every endeavor by the collective,is composed of the smallest efforts by the many individual.
Every efforts of the individual,Are measured and weighed by their impact to the needs of thecollective.
The Individual is the Energy of the Collective.
The Collective is the Market, the Synergy, and the Student of theIndividual.
Thus, when in a Collective forum, one should exert Individualism, togive vitality and growth to the Collective.
But when alone, one should exert Collectivism, to remind oneself theNEED to serve others.
Woe to the Man who cannot be an Individual in a Collective,For he is a mindless follower.
But also woe to the Man who cannot think of the Collective by himself,For he has no customers, nor followers, nor pupils.
What is Life, but we humans born from the pains of our mothers?
What are Good and Evil in Life, but the Taking and Giving of Pains?
When I was posed by these questions of Good and Evil of Life, I say to thee, they are simply these.
Good, is when one takes Pain or burdens from others.
Evil, is when one gives Pain or burdens to others.
Pain is not wrong, for a generous and kind man is marked by the scars of a life time of pains that he has born for the sake of others.
Yet, a life spent in avoidance of pain is merely wasted, un-valued, and without purpose. And that brings its own pain of emptiness.
For was it not God's own son who bore suffering for the sake of all mankind's sins?
For no man can avoid pain, no more than he can avoid Death.
But we can choose our manner of Pain and Death.
If we must suffer, let our suffering and our burden be filled with meaning, to lessen the burdens and pain of others.
If all human beings sought to take away each other's pains, then that is the creation of a joy filled world, where Life is cherished.
For that, is the reason why mothers bear the great pains of childbirth, so that we may all learn to cherish Life.
