Wow, deep philosophical questions the supposedly 6-year-old boy is having during playtime! I didn’t even know what the definition of morality was until the age of 14.
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

We always encouraged our 4 kids to pay more attention to what people do rather than what they say. Yes, words matter but deeds matter more.

Is our morality defined by our actions, or are our actions defined by our morality?

Hobbes pretty much nailed it:
Character is habitual action. [Aristotle]
We are the heirs of our actions. [Buddha]
I develop by learning but I progress by actions. [Dalai Lama]

A moral belief that too many people do not believe in or follow. We paraphrase it by saying actions speak louder than words…..

Calvin seems to have evil and anger in his heart at the moment.
But he’s not the only one. You only have to look at the world today to see what I mean.

Are we talking about moral principles or moral behavior here? Is behavior a product of the moral principles we articulate?
