on ethics.

I recall something that a wise
Young friend of mine said
A few weeks ago, which has
left such an impression upon
Me that I now feel compelled
To share, and reflect on his
Words.

"What makes you a good
Person, (he said.) Is how
You choose to act whenever
You don't think anyone is
Watching."

On the surface, this statement
May seem mediocre in light
of the many complex arguments
posed by various philosophers
within the field of ethics, but
(To me) it effectively captures
the essence of what it is to be
Moral, and act in accordance to
One's sense of higher reason
in ways which perpetuate the
Greater Good.
