Some things I have been doing/not doing have forced me to rethink the way I think of morals and ethics. Why do we do the things we think are right? Recently I am feeling more and more that we do the right things out of fear - fear of being caught out, or something punitive, fear of the truth about who we are, fear of embarresment etc.

There are surprisingly few things that I do naturally for the sake of doing something right! This might be something I need to improve on…

These thoughts lead me into a conversation that bore the fruits of surveying something ethical. Would I want other people to do what I have/have not been doing? Would I teach my kids these practices? What is the worst outcome of doing/not doing what I am doing?  After asking myself a series of questions pertaining to the questionable ethical dilemma I found the answer was simple, although I did not like it.

If you dig even deeper you MAY come to the conclusions that the reason behind this ethical dilemma is rooted in issues like greed, desire, and even shame and despair. This further ads to the ease of the forth coming decisions… We can all make excuses for our actions - mine was that I do not do something just because it is a law, that I need some ethical reasoning for it. But the truth will always be known/found and this is where the real us emerges.
