STEPS IN MAKING A MORALLY GOOD DESISYON:

Pausing gives us time and
space to think and get in
touch with ourselves

Pause also means not
taking some time to pause
might actually create
more harm than good.

To probe is to think
deeply. In probing, we
ask questions to reveal
the reality or to draw out
the facts of our acts

It also means that we need to go
beyond what we know from the
surface. In probing we must
investigate three aspects:
a. The nature of the act
b. The intentions behind the act
c. The circumstances surrounding
the act
STEPS IN MAKING A MORALLY GOOD DESISYON:
3 PONDER
After probing the facts of our
acts, we ponder on what we have
uncovered. We take a second look
at what we have just learned
about our acts, ourselves, and the
environment.

3 PONDER
Notice that for this sign, we use two hands
which symbolize the meeting of our reason and
our affect which involve our thoughts and our
feelings. Leveling our two hands together
means that sensing our feelings are as
important as knowing our thoughts. It is
important to ask ourselves: What do I think
about what I have just learned? How do I feel
about it? Why?

Some people may find this hand sign a bit
unusual, but it symbolizes our need for
humanity and reminds us that it's okay to
seek help from others. We should feel
comfortable asking for guidance from
those who have more knowledge or
experience than we do. Often, we might
know what steps to take, but we still
require the support of others.

attitude in making moral decisions.
