Ethics: Sharing Boundaries
Treating All Life as Equal
We strive to abstain from harming others, killing, lying or stealing; and have the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
“It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.” - Siddhārtha Gautama (563 - 480 BC)
Ethics is Love
The Ethics value is dedicated to living in harmony with nature's laws and collaborating with others in a honest, respectful, and balanced way, and honoring and loving all beings in the same way we honor and love ourselves.
Moral Codes
We strive to:
-
Abstain from harming others or killing any being; practice non-violence, consensual sexual relationships and allow a natural life for all beings.
-
Abstain from wrong speech or lying; speak the truth.
-
Abstain from stealing; use only what is free for given to me for fair trade and respect others space and lives knowing each of us wish to express freely while sharing the same world.
– All beings include humans, animals, insects, trees, cells; any life.
Ethics Quotes
"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages." - Thomas A. Edison (1847 - 1931)
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world. - Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)
Also in Framework
The EarthCitizen Framework Project
We are striving to build a framework that Earth Citizens can use to guide various aspects of living life and collaborating to help life and happiness to thrive. The topics presented are much like an individual or a group (i.e. non-profit, company, etc.) guiding agreements, charter, values, responsibilities, mission statements, and/or paradigms.
