Growing up, I found that I was raised off a set of morals that were kind of set up by my parents, some direct, some indirect. Some of these morals were about smoking, drinking, drug use, sex, among other things. I have read through some of these forums on wrongplanet.net, and I am not surprised to see a strong sense of morals from other Aspies and people with autism. I just had a thought that since I did break some of my own moral rules, and others still have not been broken, what are your moral rules?
That is the question I will pose to the forum some day. I have thought about it doing it now, but ultimately decided to leave it for a blog posting for now.
1. Don't drink alcohol in excessive amounts, keep it moderate if you do choose to drink (broken this rule several times)
2. Don't have sex outside of a loving and committed relationship, drunken one night stands are unacceptable (broken this rule of course)
3. Never smoke cigarettes (like father, like son- rule broken. He did quit over 20 years ago, but I was still old enough to remember seeing him do it)
4. Never do drugs, not even marijuana. It is morally wrong and unacceptable (broken the rule, cannabis and hash oil only)
5. Never get addicted to anything (Broken, addicted to nicotine, on and off again addiction with sugar, was once addicted to caffeine, was once addicted to cannabis. No matter what anyone says, you can get addicted to cannabis. Trying smoking that stuff everyday for a while and then quit. It is tough, but not as tough as cigarettes.)
6. Never hit a woman, ever (Never broke this rule)
7. Never commit a crime that you will get sent to jail for (on a technicality, rule is not broken since I have never been arrested or been charged with a crime)
8. Do unto others as they do unto you/Treat others as you wish to be treated (Sometimes broken, depending on the person. For the most part, I am faithful to this rule).
9. Love and respect your family and close friends (I think I am safe on this one)
10. Always remember to love and respect yourself and accept who you are and where you came from. With this, you will know where you are going. (Broken this rule, but unlike other rules, this broken rule is not necessarily always my fault).
