Are you a moral person -- or will you be honest with yourself and say, my morality is like a mirror...?
...reflects what is happening? Can you be truly honest with yourself and say your morality is the same, constantly, and your desires, words, deeds, and thoughts all move according to said morality 24/7, as it is continuous state in you?
e, there is a Objective morality, a man must reach that state. Conscience is how he does it -- and working with consciousness.
Conscience is the same everywhere -- is not depending on setting -- that feeling knows. That can lead to real morality.

Morality, like all things in life, should be constantly re-evaluated and hopefully improved as I learn "from fools and sages".
I am a moral person, and my morality is not, and should never be, static.

It's impossible to be true to one's morality 24/7, because that would be perfection. No one is perfect. Yet to refuse to strive to become better based on the fact that one will never be perfect is a pretty pitiful excuse for not wanting to make an effort ("it's just too HARD"--whiny and weak).
If a person's morality stayed the same throughout a lifetime, then that person would not have learned anything new, or grown in any way--just refused to allow new ideas in at all.
But to say that one's morality is like a mirror also sounds like a weak excuse for justifying doing whatever one wants to do, regardless of the consequences.

Sense of morality is never the same, not in every person and not in every moment that person lives.
Circumstance fluctuates the sense of morality.
Desparation blurs the lines between good and evil.
But, that subjective version of reality is still held accountable for it's actions.
No one is every totally in sychronization with the real objective morality of the world we live in, but nonetheless it exists and we try to, as a society, match it.

Thats why Im not a moral relativist. I dont believe in any "my morality". I believe in an absolute morality... that code of conduct from which everyone is proven a hypocrite and amoral at best, immoral at worst. Moral relativism is moral anarchy rationalized as morality.

My morality 24/7..? Honestly?...No. Yet it is consistent and there "most" of the time. Live what you know and say. Be that which you speak of. My morality is there no matter what is going on around me or not. Am I tempted and "misbehave" at times? Yes. I am human...and so it goes.

Art is the mirror, morality or ethics is the abstract notion to which we ought to strive for. I can't pretend to be perfect but that doesn't stop me from believing in the 'truth' of morality.
