Soren Kierkegaard, Danish philosopher, said every decision is a moral decision. I agree with him. Everyday in everyway we are confronted with the need/opportunity/necessity to make decisions. We stand at the fork in the road and choose. There is no option not to choose. To "not choose" is a choice itself. Every decision we make affects others and defines us. We can choose to gratify our selves, enrich ourselves, benefit ourselves in any and everyway possible or we can choose with the needs of others guiding the direction in which we will go.
There is a "cosmic" struggle going on around us. One path leads to destruction, chaos, disintegration of society, polarization, everyone doing "what is right in their own eyes," or one leads to constructive community buiilding, wholeness, integration, and consensus building. One path is defined by selfishness and greed, while the other is defined by care, compassion, and concern for others.
We stand at the fork in the road. As Yogi Berra said, "when you come to a fork in the road, take it!"
