![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | [Philosophy] ETHICS [Shard] - Sosaria [Type] - Philosophy [Book] - Red 20 pages [Title] - ETHICS [Author] - [Page 1] The Ethical Man obtains his strength through Ethics. Hence, he is stronger as well as more daring. The Ethical Man would risk his life to save another [Page 2] man's life. On the topic of Wealth and Ethics: To be truly ethical, thou shouldst reject Wealth. Wealth corrupts the soul. It doth do so by placing a greater value upon [Page 3] goods and material possessions rather than upon the "anima", that is the living matter or spiritual matter. Spiritual kinship should be established as early [Page 4] as possible instead of the numerous tentative efforts by parents and the various communities to establish a Wealth kinship. [Page 5] Believing thou shouldst abide by rules of conduct, learning well and being of good rule and disposition are what will make an ethical Man of thee. Wealth [Page 6] turns too many men away from rules of conduct. Quickly enough, young men like thee become wastrels and haunters of alehouses, thereby losing their temporary [Page 7] possession, Wealth, but above all losing their richest dowry, their only true wealth, their soul. Ethics will prevent thee from following that path. Reject [Page 8] Wealth, my dear reader and most assured brother, and be truly ethical. I hope I have convinced thee, for if so, I have saved thee. [Page 9] Never, NEVER, surrender to thine enemies. Fight to the death, but do not abandon thine Ethics. The serpent of gold can send thee along the path to knowledge, but [Page 10] only if balanced by wisdom. Thou mayest already have felt the ill fortune brought about by wealth without wisdom; now use thy newfound wisdom to balance the [Page 11] power of gold. |
