It's been a special CNY for me this year. 'Coz I think I no longer look forward to celebrating CNY anymore. I can strip 'celebration' away from CNY already. Long holidays can be dreadful. I have so much free time that I tend to think a lil' too deeply, too much. And that is so "me"- a seemingly predictable fella with, in fact, unpredictable behaviour. I've been thinking about how people measure what is "ethically right". What is your basis to judge if someone is "ethically right"? What do you expect to achieve by driving that individual to the "ethically right" direction, using your own definition of "ethically right"? Happiness for everyone? Before jumping to the conclusion. Check if your management of certain "ethically challenging" issue can really achieve "happiness" for the majority. To me, "ethics" is not universal. I do not take traditional values as the basis to judge if someone is on the "ethically right" track or not. I believe that I'm able to provide 99% of happiness to my family. There is this 1% that I could not achieve due to very personal reason which I strongly believe is harmless to anyone. However, this 1% is not socially-acceptable, hence it is not "ethically right". So, "corrective action" has been taken in an attempt to correct it. Yes, "corrective action" has been taken. But I guess the other 99% of happiness which used to exist has vanished along with the "justice". If "ethically correct" is the ultimate goal of life, then let it be. I have nothing to say. I have nothing more. I have nothing. |
