The Clear Principle of Ethics: Weak Men Cannot be Virtuous...
Hi, Steemians!
This post is going to deviate a little bit from our usual content in order to talk about the issue of ethics and morality in society.
As a businessman, you need to have clear boundaries and red lines when it comes to how you conduct your business relationships.
As an entrepreneur, it is important to have an ethical code that can guide you in different situations.
As a dreamer loose in a world with ample opportunities, you need to sort your values and make the best decision possible.
As you can see, there are a whole lot of different important factors that could be considered consequential when it comes to morality.
A lot of our cultural trends unfortunately leave the truth of this matter in ambiguity.
Some of them even shamelessly promote unethical behavior as a show of power and strength.
But that is as far from the truth as it is humanly possible. Because being ethical and having moral values when it comes to making decisions in life is not a place of weakness, but one of power and greatness.
It is true that corruption feeds power and there is always a way for those who want to swiftly and easily become successful and wealthy.
But here is the question that they should be asking of themselves: At what cost?
Weak men cannot be virtuous. It takes a special kind of power to have control over your selfish desires and do nobody harm in the process of achieving your goals.
So, these virtuous people are not only weak, but they are an example of humanity’s finest merits.
Another thing that you should understand when it comes to ethics in the world of business is that there is often a very thin line between right and wrong.
You need to be wary in order to recognize where the path deviates into something wrong, identify the cause and adjust your course to find the light again.
Otherwise, you are going to make the same mistakes as everyone else.
Most people underestimate the pull of greed and unwanted desires. Understand the thin boundary between what is considered right and what is considered wrong.
There will come moments when you will have to decide. The decision itself may not be that important, but the consequences will be yours to bear.
Doing the wrong thing as opposed to the right is easily mistakable.
Do not assume that you are higher than this; it could be any of us. And whatever you do, never forget this:
Weak men can never be virtuous.
A BIG HUG! @chbartist

"So, these virtuous people are not only weak, but they are an example of humanity’s finest merits."
I believe you meant something different?
I would change it to all people, not just men, cannot be virtuous if they are weak.
Weakness makes people pick the easy route. The easy route is almost always the unethical one. This is part of the warrior ethos, and everyone should be a warrior.
Warriors do the right thing no matter how difficult or painful it is.
I don’t think this post deviates from the usual content but rather it compliments your other posts as an integral reminder to the community of a very important and basic tenet of living a good life. If we always treat others as we would like to treated ourselves we can’t go too far wrong. It is rare to find people who are unaware of the difference between right and wrong so sadly those who are wrong doers, do so in full awareness for greed or power, or just because they can. This is a tragic fact that colours our world. We can live by example and hope that by doing so we will attract others who follow the path of light and love.
If your post changes the mindset of one person, it has played an important role in the world. If it inspires others to address this subject and twang the conscience of one wrong doer that again is great. Thanks for this reminder there are always ways we can all improve and do more to help others. 🙏

I completely agree with this. I think it's extremely important that you think about and choose values that are important to you and stick to them even through the hardest of times. Staying true to yourself and remembering why you started something in the first place and how you promised, in the very beginning, how you are going to behave towards and treat other people. Being kind and doing the right thing is definitely not a display of weakness but rather of who you are and who you decided to be.
The hypocrisy of speaking about selfishness as you vote buy and self vote almost exclusively.

Dear @chbartist
Mentally weak people are unable to make quick decisions. The knowledge of ethics demonstrates our mental stability. In order to conduct business relations, we need to make concrete and precise decisions and this can be done by a person who is mentally strong because the mentally challenged person is often in a state of dilemma and delays in making decisions.
Because of which, he gets failures in the field of business. For an entrepreneur, his quick decisions in the business are important. This quick decision reduces and increases the percentage of its profit loss.
certain now im your follower also
@chbartist, Balance brings the success but finding and implementing that balance in life is not that easy process, that's why attainment of success is not easy. But here i want to say that nothing is easy or hard it's our mindset which will going to make us strong or weak.

Very true words.
Look a the response when I undelegated from @informationwar, when I called out unethical behavior due to a philosophical compromise..
https://steemit.com/blog/@lucylin/why-i-ve-just-taken-my-delegationaway-from-informationwar
Lol seriously? You do realize that he's among the most selfish people on steem and that you STILL haven't specified exactly what behavior you called out and whose behavior even.
Begging for some attention / support from one of the biggest hypocrites on steem, classic.
How did you respond to some mild mockery? Lol not as you claimed that mockery is healing.
