Talking I like this quote

"Let me give you one definition of ethics: It is good to maintain life and to further life; it is bad to damage and destroy Life. And this ethic, profound, universal, has the significance of a religion. It is religion."

-Albert Schweitzer

Just felt like sharing that.

Thanks for sharing. Something to ponder over.

I'm unsure any ethic by itself constitutes an adequate religion, but if one could, then Schweitzer has made a good start for it.

"Let me give you one definition of ethics: It is good to maintain life and to further life; it is bad to damage and destroy Life. And this ethic, profound, universal, has the significance of a religion. It is religion."

-Albert Schweitzer

Thank you for sharing that, (leave out the 'Religion' ), and it reads better (IMO). Although I would say that it is a truism in most circumstances, I can think of occasions when that has been used unwisely.

I am thinking mainly of the advances in medicine where life is prolonged far beyond a stage when there is quality of life. Similarly, where a creature that would not have survived birth in nature has been 'helped' by doctors. Sometimes, I think the medical profession thinks too hard of his oath, and too little about the specific circumstances.

(I know what I have said may be and will be repugnant to members - it is to me, as I read it back) Deep in our hearts, however, I think we know there is a grain of truth in it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger on ethics. Fascinating.
