Social / Moral Principles

What Social / Moral Principles do you find compelling and why? How do these principles fit with the personal principles you identified in Blog 2? Do they conflict at all? Do you think you can live according to both? How will you go about doing so? i.e. Prioritize them? Adopt specific ones for specific contexts?

The social/moral principle i find most compelling are those of John Locke. They do some what fit, in my first blog I spoke about “Being myself- Dare to be Different”. I do believe that we are all born with natural rights and its one of my responsibilities as a human to oblige by those rights when dealing with others and when dealing with myself. I also understand not everyone has the same perception of life in me and I try not to frustrate myself with contradicting views. I really don't think they conflict whats so ever, if anything I think they complement each other very nicely. I already live according to both, and even though I am not where I want to be I am still on the path. Every day I try to remind myself not to force anything, not to get angry when things don't happen my way, and I am also a believer in letting things develop the way they were meant to. Me intervening and complaining only brings in more stress and negativity. Some of the views of john Locke, specifically the part of natural rights help me keep up with the positivity I want in my life and for those around me.
