Ética

Li no blog da Mariana e gostei tanto que quero reproduzir. Segue a linha da história das coisas e do filme sobre marketing (que ainda não linkei aqui), entre tantos outros.
Não tenho inspiração para fazer maiores comentários nesse momento, mas tocou fundo. Me vi em várias frases... E a cabeça que está a mil por hora por vários assuntos diretamente ligados à ética (ou à falta dela, infelizmente) e pessoas que (ainda) tenho que conviver ficou mais acelerada e instigada ainda.
Espero que gostem, deixem seu comentários!


Ethics
Reflections on ethics and the process of making things happen.

If ethics is the choice for the common good :

- deciding not to act because it is difficult and there are uncertaintities involved... is not ethical;
- deciding to act small because it is more confortable... is not ethical;
- deciding to hold back (your proposals, ideas and actions) because you don't want to go against "the group"... is not ethical;
- deciding to doing the possible instead of trying to making the impossible possible... is not ethical;
- deciding to use just a part of your potencial (to save it for self-interested purposes)... is not ethical;
- deciding not to persist up to the limits of your forces... is not ethical;
- deciding to conform to existing limitations (even the ones in the form of inadequate laws)... is not ethical;
- deciding not to act, to stay in silence, letting fear stay in the way... is not ethical;
- deciding to conform to the "letter of the law" instead of persisting on the path difined by the "spirit of law"... is not ethical;
- deciding to "delegate" your natural power, as a world citizen, to others... is not ethical;
- deciding not to try because nobody tried it before... is not ethical;
- deciding not to act on challenges of scale and complexity because they look overwhelming...is not ethical;
- deciding not to pursue the pefection and conform to what seems "negotioable"... is not ethical;
- deciding to postpone bold actions again and again "waiting for the right moment"... is not ethical;
- deciding not to act pressed by the convetions established by your own "professional community"... is not ethical;
- deciding to hold back because you may not be recognized as the author of the solution... is not ethical;
- deciding to "play the game" and pretend that you are not seeing the manipulations underway... is not ethical;
- deciding to live the realm of ideas, diagnosis and theories instead of taking the riscks and going for action... is not ethical;
- deciding to act only when all is scientifically proven, even when the truth is self evident... is not ethical;
- deciding to reject all radically creative ideas (yours including) when the "traditional-not-so-radical ideas" have not been working... is not ethical;
- deciding not to act because the process of reaching the perfect solution is too complex and difficult to implement... is not ethical;
- deciding to reject every proposal that looks "idealistic" or "uthopic"... is not ethical.
