Ethics vary with environment, circumstances, and culture. In my own life, ethics play a major role. Whether it was because of the way I was raised, the experiences Ive had, or just my outlook on the world and the way thing should be. My biggest aspects of ethics include being honest, compassionate, and looking for the best and beauty in everyone. I have been told repeatedly that I trust people too easily, but I find that wen I put my faith and trust in people when others would not dare to, they almost need betray me. I would hope that people would put that same faith in me. Trust and honesty is an investment you put in people; if you build enough trust in them and show yourself to be honest, they will do the same in you. I value honesty so much, and it is an expectation I have of myself. I put honesty before the risk of humiliation, before selfishness, and before anything less then the gospel truth. Even in being honest and trustworthy, I do not come off cold and heartless. Compassion and honesty go hand-in-hand, if enough of each is put into every situation. I admire those who trust and are trustworthy. Compassion is the greatest form of love humans have to offer according to Websters dictionary compassion means a feeling of sympathy for anothers misfortune. My definition of compassion is forgiving, loving, helping, leading and showing mercy for others. I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far little kindness can go. It wasnt until recently that I learned that the first and the second and the third impression can be deceitful of what kind of person someone is. For example imagine you have just met someone and you speak with them three times on briefly everyday conversations. They come off as harsh, cruel, stubborn, and ignorant person. You reach your judgment based on just these three encounters. Let me ask you something...did you ever ask them what their goal in life is, what kind of past they came from, did they experience love, did they experience hurt, did you look into their soul and not just at their appearance? Untill you know them, and not just their type you have no right to shun them. You have not looked for their beauty, their good. You have not seen the light in their eyes. Look hard enough and you will always find a light, and you can even help it grow, if you dont walk away from those three impressions. I am sure that my codes of life may be different from yours, but how do you know that trust, compassion, and beauty will not make this world a better place to be in and this life a better one to live? My codes may seem like a fantasy that can never be reached, but test them for yourself, and see the kind of effect they have in the lives of people around you. You may just start a chain reaction. #RachelsChallenge
