Making Moral Choices
I, as Soren Kierkegaard believe that everyone is free to make their own choice, a choice that is true to oneself. Through life people have to learn to make their own decisions based on what you believe is important without hearing what your friends, family, or society argues or says. As an existentialist I believe that we, as humans can never know if we made the right thing. Everyone makes mistakes, but you definitely have to learn from them; it is throughout personal experience that we learn what is actually moral and immoral. It’s important for us to make and judge our own moral choices, I believe in authenticity and how people should make decisions based on what he believes is good or bad and not think on what others say. We must judge our actions according to reason or the standards of society; we remove the thought of “what might people think” or “what will they say” and let God judge our actions. Even though we are free to make our own moral choice, God is the only one who knows what’s ethical and what’s not. For me abortion is not ethical, because is killing the life of a baby. God also thinks that abortion is not moral under any circumstances. You make your own choice and later you become responsible to your consequences.

I really agree with Sheila and her philosopher. Poeople have the choice to make their own decisions knowing that after they make them good or bad copnsequences will come. I think that what makes a person valuable is how they make their choices.
