I am determined to continue to study on matters, as I find I have often learned things that prove me wrong, and then I am compelled to change my mind to I won't be wrong anymore. Ethics don't seem to work that way, but to be pushed by a sort of gang mentality, and whoever has the most vocal followers tends to push their ethics to the forefront. Ethics tend to be variable in democracies, going whichever way the wind blows.
While I pay a price for it when I do, I stick with my morals where they conflict with ethics, and that includes when I change my mind after having been proved wrong. What matters to me is doing what is right, while ethics often seems to be doing what others won't condemn you for. I'd rather be condemned for doing what is right than praised for doing what is wrong.
Thanks!
I guess I forgot to mention that we should be aligning morals and ethics so they have less conflict.
I would that it were so, but having watched the left and the right swap places regarding censorship, oppressive national security surveillance, and pandering to corporations since the 1980s, I have strong doubts that could be possible.
It'd be nice, but a lot of folks seem to have little in the way of morals, and neither any personal dedication to ethics, but are willing to just go along with the crowd, whichever crowd they latch onto.
