interesting thoughts...

I just read John C. Mawell's Ethics 101. Here is the one main quote that stuck with m:

"Wrong Decisions Leave Scars: every time people make wrong decisions, there is an impact, even if they don't immediately notice it. My wife, Margaret, says that her grandmother used to tell her about a father who was trying to teach his son the consequences of bad decisions. Each time the boy made a poor decicion, his father asked him to hammer a nail in a post. Each day he made good choices, he was asked to remove a nail. In time, after much hammering and much pulling of nails, there came a day when the wood was nail-free. That's when the boy noticed the post was covered with holes. (p47)"

Interesting, huh?
