IS OUR APPROACH TO ETHICS HURTING US?
Ethics and spirituality is not a way to judge who is good or bad. Ethics and spirituality is not about creating a 'worth table' for yourself or others. While I do think it matters what we say or don’t say, what we post also does not determine our worth. Policing others also does not signal worth for the signifier. Our worth does not change. Our worth is non-negotiable. A worn $5 bill has the same value as a mint $5 bill.
