By moral act it refers to the very human act that any human being displays, such as sleeping, playing or practicing a sport, among others, but evaluated and considered through ethics, in terms of the goodness or badness that it reports and this then is what ends up turning it into a moral act.
The moral human act consists not only in that whoever deploys it realizes and is aware of what he is doing or about to do, but the most important thing! What will be to take into account and know about the relationship that this act has with ethics, that is, how he is through his propositions will finally judge him, good or bad, as we pointed out above.
To clarify the matter, it would be better to mention an example ... Attending a meeting of friends is not an act that per se is considered bad, however, if at the time of the meeting we should actually be working, such an act will not be considered ethically. good on the part of ethics, because in this precise example that I am giving you, in reality, it is not that they missed work because some cause of force majeure, such as their own illness or that of a family member, has motivated them, but more Either irresponsibility or the need to satisfy one's own desire are those that prompted the aforementioned human action and in the eyes of ethics, as it is not oriented to the accomplishment of some good or altruistic fact, but rather motivated by selfishness, then , it is considered as a morally bad act.
From the foregoing it follows that the general principle that must mobilize every moral act is the realization of good and the avoidance of evil., although many times this means and implies going over your own pleasure and desire, that is, let it be clear, that pleasure, fun, etc. They are not wrong nor do they constitute amoral acts, but in reality when these are opposed to moral duty and are put before life, love, respect for others, truth, good, among others, then there is make it an amoral act.
