Ethics and Justice

Some days when I look at the world and see the way people harm each other and everyone has so many double standards and harms everyone else I am amazed that they don't recognize just how wrong their behaviour is. The irony of it is it's not usually the people that you would expect to be that way. For example, if you see a person living in abject poverty stealing you can kind of understand it. It's not right but at least you can understand it easier than someone that's very rich doing the same thing. Cruelty, you'd asume people that aren't educated to know harming others and animals to understand how wrong it is but the worst cruelties often come from those who should know better. Ethics and standing up for what you believe in isn't a case of what your socioeconomic background is, it's who you are inside. If you care and are sensitive to others and have a general sense of fairness that will be there whether you are a person living on the street or someone that is running a country and I don't think that enough people in this world stand behind their beliefs. It seems to be a dog eat dog world out there and it really makes me sad. It makes me think that I want to be the best person that I can be and if no one else follows that then though I should try not to judge I should at least attempt to keep on my own path.
