Character Counts

What does character mean to you in life? I'm not referring to a symbol for writing. Character is the complex of mental and ethical traits marking and often individualizing a person, group, or nation according to Webster. It is how you act when no one is watching. Like the story of a person who is at a 4 way stop and no one is around and they just run the 4 way stop because they feel that it is okay. It is doing things like checking out at a grocery store and the cashier did not ring up the products under the basket and you feel that it is okay not to pay for it which is stealing. It is when you cheat on your taxes and feel that the government takes enough of your hard earned money and it is okay. Wrong is wrong no matter what excuse you can come up with. People seem to feel that they are entitled to certain things because of what happened in the past? Greed is destroying this great nation and no matter if you get caught or not you will always have to answer to a higher power.  Character counts so much in your life and you make the choice to either do the right thing or the wrong thing. Just remember your actions matter in life. I feel that most people in life know what is right from wrong. We are given the freedom to make choices in our life and choose the character traits that represent us. This was taught to us in elementary school. What type of legacy do you want to leave behind? Character is such an important trait in our life and you get to decide weather you want to be good or evil. I would say that character does matter in life and just remember someone is always watching you. Make Good Choices and your life will be good. Have a great day everyone!
