All day long as we awaken much time is spent asking ourselves questions and then answering them to make our decisions. .An example of this would be, should I go to the shops now or leave it till later...one of the many. We balance the decisions based on many things .

Dilemma....... This is what we call a dilemma a problem offering two solutions. Think about it ,we start this operation as soon as we awake ! "Should I get up" ?

Principles........Next we have the principle, this little word is what we distinguish to be our standard rule. An example being, well its a Tuesday and I have to get up at 5 am and so I have to get up.
Now to complicate this we could have our dilemma", I could always phone and take a sick day."

Morals........This then leads to our morals, this is the word that means the distinction between right and wrong. Now we are asking our self a question followed by a dilemma followed by a principle , "no I had better get up I would feel guilty lying".and I know I would be wrong and so I cannot do that.

Scruples........Now if I were to phone in and take a sick day my scruples would come into play. Scruples, an uneasy feeling gained from conscience or principles." I know I,m telling lies I am perfectly healthy its just I want to take a day off and go fishing".

Remorse........Now I go into remorse, I have gone against my moral values. My friends have to take up the slack in the workplace due to my non appearance. Do you really care ?

Conscience.......Next off my conscience tells me that I am well aware of the distinction from right and wrong and so I have a dilemma but my principles with my standard rules identify what excites me and brings meaning to my life. and so I go fishing.

Integrity....................This being the case I am confused I think that I have brought my integrity into question in other words when my actions conform to my moral value ,I wrestle with this but I still love to go fishing.

Life is a complicated pathway but so long as we try to stick to life's basic rules there are no right or wrong answers to the dilemmas of life. This is why we may seek companionship to aid us in our travels, it may be to help steer us in a direction helping make us better people as we advance through the years. Our inner voices tell us who we are and how we act and therefore determine our value to others around us.

So long as there is no intentional malice directed on others by our complicated decisions which are within our balanced daily lifestyle then this by all account and purposes should make us better people both for ourselves to reflect upon as well as those know us for what we are.
