Character is a function of choice. I recently heard this and was impressed by its profound simplicity. Character costs us nothing, and yet few possess it. Why is that? Perhaps the answer is that, just like manners, it would appear that many couldn’t be bothered.
I wonder why that is? Don’t people care how they present themselves to the world? How others receive them? How they feel about themselves? Or is it easier for many to adopt an all-about-me attitude and do whatever they want, throwing caution to the wind as to the consequences of their actions?
Let’s take a closer look at what character means. The dictionary defines character as: the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual.
Hmmm….
This doesn’t seem so tough. I believe it requires just as much resolve adopting a positive character as it does an unwholesome one. Of course, there are exceptions to this theory, just as with everything else in life. So, going with the it’s just as easy to take on a positive character belief, why would anyone elect to take on something less than character? Because, after all…it is a choice whether to espouse character or not….
