Values

My values are very important to how I am and how I act.  Everyday in my life I think about how I can be kind, honest, and responsible.  These values guide my actions and make sure that I am going in the positive direction.  These values are important to me because if these were violated, then I feel terrible and unfulfilled.

Sometimes things come up where you have to act in violation of these values or there is a lapse in judgement and one of these values was violated.  For, example there was this time where I made a mistake in acting to a fellow buckeye.  I was rude and dishonest.  This was poor acting and i immediately realized this and apologized.  This was clearly not enough because I was not authentic as well as i felt terrible on the inside.  I thought about this after it had happened and it had reassured me to never violate these values again.

To be authentic you have to be real in the world.  You have to take your values and live by them in the world because this is the main way that authenticity is projected to others. To be authentic is to be good to human kind of all types and despite all differences.  This is what is inherently good and moral in nature.  To be authentic is to moral.
