ETHICS

"The golden rule...is resolutely to refuse to have what millions cannot."-Ghandi

ETHICS-we all have it. Good ethics. Bad Ethics. Whatever Ethics. I read this quote today and it hit me that Ghandis apriori when regarding lifestyle decisions was to take into consideration the broader implications of his simple day to day decisions. I regard this as a high form of ethics. A high form of ethics means at least taking in consideration others in our decisions. To have them in mind. To think about how it will effect other people. This is much different than NEVER considering others in our decision making which is how MOST people live.

So just a small thought today. It is important because all human change begins with awareness. Awareness begins with thinking. Thinking starts with a thought. My best thoughts come from reading. And this is part of something I read this morning.

KRISTIN

So yesterday at Grad School I asked around to see if there might be someone to carpool with. When you have ridden a bicycle as much as I have your perspective changes. I no longer view a car or vehicle as a status symbol as I once did. I only view them now as a means of getting human beings from point A to point B. After I changed my views about this I became a big fan of carpooling. So today I carpooled with my friend Kristin. It is amazing the people you meet in life. Kristin and her husband are both going to seminary doing work on Masters of Divinity and Masters of Clinical Counseling Degrees. This may not sound super impressive except that Kristin in Dyslexic. She buys her books. Turns them into PDF files. Turns them into Microsoft Word Files. Then has a computer software program READ THE BOOKS OUTLOUD to her. I am always amazed by people who refuse to let there limitations keep them from getting what they really want.
