Week 1 Post 7

What Ethical System Do you admire most?

The ethical system that I admire the most comes from the East. I admire Buddhism more than anything else. I like that it makes you separate yourself from the material world. I believe that it allows you to search within yourself for all of the answers. It takes a very strong person to be a Buddhist because it would be incredibly difficult to separate oneself from the material world especially in today's world where success is measured through material possessions.

I also of course admire Christianity for the enormous success that it has had. Christianity has been alive for 2000 years and has followers all over the world. I think that Christianity is very successful in giving a large number of people an ethical system to follow. You cant argue with success and Christianity has had an enormous amount of it.
