Destructors of our Soul

What destroys ethical living:

Selfishness: Only seeing what is right and wrong to ourselves, not to anyone else

Narrow-mindedness: Only seeing right and wrong for a certain culture, nation, social group, etc.

Universality: Assuming rules of right and wrong must apply to everyone without taking into account cultures, lifestyle, differing ideals and abilities.

Misunderstanding human nature: Not comprehending the possibility of human evil or human sacrifice for the good of all.

Misunderstanding reality: Ethics is based on what we perceive to be real, but if we do not grasp reality, our ethics will be impaired.
