Integrity, Honour and other Arcane Notions...

Albert Schweitzer







  1. Very well written and thought provoking. After starting with God and loss of moral compass and finishing with the latter, mention could have been made at the finish of how far (and how fast like Satan)we are willing to fall in that large amounts of people across all layers of society have lost all reference to God. The moral compass cannot work if it does not recognize Him who set out the 4 cardinal points

  2. I like what you wrote and I feel the same. It's like most decisions made to improve ours lives (financially) almost since college are somehow morally challenging. Questions like: which study to pursue; something your heart likes or something that will get you a good job later? And somehow we grew up in it, feeling it's okay to make the 'unmoral' choice, encouraged even (sometimes by our parents, mostly by our peers). It feels like a great unbalance. It is a challenge to live in this world today, make it a better place for our children and doing the right thing at the same the time. But maybe this is the same for any generation...

  3. Bettering your position by the intentional destruction of others is imply wrong. Knowing what is right and what is wrong is as simple as "would i do this to myself?" if you answer "no" - don't do it. What is so hard about that?

  4. It saddens me to no end that my peers have forgotten the cordiality of past in pursuit of instant gratification. The technology of today allows for more aggressive behavior, has made women's issues comedic and women role models reduced to panty wearing fashionistas.
