ethics mold our core being
our well-founded standards
embrace morals and values
and not follow one’s feelings
nor “what society accepts”
every equation has two sides
let knowledge prevail
Reena’s Xploration Challenge #224
Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do, and what is right to do. Peter Stewart

So well said Eugi
Thank you, Sadje!
You’re welcome
Good point that ethics does not follow one’s feelings nor what society accepts. It has a deeper ground. I like the quote from Peter Stewart.
Thank you, Frank! I like the quote, as well. It’s straight to the point.
Let knowledge prevail, and let truth prevail.
Yes, indeed, Reena!
Good advice.
Thank you, Patricia.
May we all have the knowledge to know right from wrong and defend those wronged the in right ways.
Absolutely, Jules!

Reminds me of taking a philosophy course on ethics back in my college days. A fascinating (and important!) course of study.
I imagine the course would be very interesting, Liz. And a much needed course today!
Isn’t that the truth!
No truer words have been spoken.
Thank you, Eileen.
Feelings are wonderful but ya can’t always act on them or your feelings could get you in trouble and acceptance by society seems like every thing to a lot of people but I could care less. I prefer to stay true to myself, know what to do and when to do it, instead of acting on feelings 100% of the time. You pack a lot of thought-provoking, common sense in so few words – excellently done! 👍
Thank you, Cathy!
Definedly excellent versing Eugenia! 🙂
Thank you, Rory!
💜 Trouble is EveryOne; different “ethics” EveryBody a Solution-in-Waiting with an Acceptance of Diversity
…💛💚💙…
True, everyone has different ethics but they should be driven by “the right thing to do”. ❤️
💜 It’s ,”True” that “the right thing to do” is YOUR!!! “ethic” and Others may THINK!!! differently or agree or couldn’t give a fuck; for example My Deceased Dad Brutally Beat (basically Criminal Assault) My Siblings and I in The Name of Discipline “”the right thing to do”” so I AM Very Grateful 🙏🏿 that He is Dead and Forgiven for DOING THE RIGHT THING IN THE WRONG WAY!!! Rant Over
…💛💚💙…
I am sorry this happened to you and your siblings. You make a very good point. The “right thing to do” in your case, was done in the wrong way. 🙏❤️
This made me think of the Will Smith/ Chris Rock situation. Always two sides.
Good observation, Deb! I think there is more to the Will Smith/Chris Rock situation then we know. Just sayin’
I agree
Very well said, Eugi! Totally agree.
Thank you!
My pleasure.
This is why good parenting is a must, so consciences are developed and we make the right choices! Nicely said, Eugenia!
I totally agree, Susi, and thank you. ❤️
