Why make ethical decisions? Good people are not guaranteed
an easy life. Dictators, drug dealers, mob bosses, corrupt politicians,
embezzling CEOs, human traffickers and countless other groups of people live
unethical lives; they enjoy riches, power and fame. I believe that those
benefits do not bring true happiness.
Additionally, riches, fame, and power do not go with you to the next life.
I firmly believe that relationships, knowledge, our testimonies, self-control
and other character traits are what really matter; those traits are more easily
developed when we live our lives ethically. My testimony of Jesus Christ moves
me to become more like him and live a more pure life. For anyone who is
confused about ethics and life, I encourage you to come to know Christ.
This is a good post. Ethical ethics are the best kind of ethics. Plus, when you live by a code of ethics, you can go around saying things like, "Stick to the code!" conspiratorially, even though you're just telling people to behave properly.
