Ethics Is The Difference Between What You Have A Right To Do And What Is Right To Do. (Potter Stewart)

Ethics – A system of moral principles. That branch of human philosophy dealing with values relating to human conduct.

Know – To perceive or understand as fact or truth.

Difference – A distinguishing characteristic. The degree to which one person or thing differs from another.

Right – In accordance with what is good, proper, or just.  Something that is due to a person by law, tradition, or nature.

Living Ethically

Ethical behavior heals the mind.

Ethical behavior heals the spirit.

On the other hand, unethical behavior corrupts the mind.

Unethical behavior corrupts the spirit.

It’s not easy to always act ethically, but it is absolutely essential that we attempt to do so.

Why?

The reason why we must attempt to act ethically is really quite simple.

When others benefit, then we benefit. When others lose, we lose.

The more often we do the right thing, even when no one is looking, the more society will benefit.

The less often than we do the right thing, the more others around us will suffer.

Or to put it another way, Buddha said ” whatever you do to others, you do to yourself.”
