HOW SHOULD IT ALL END?

Two main camps for ethics: deontology and consequentialism.

DEFINE 'As A Friend’?

 Urban Dictionary defines 'As A Friend' to be another way of saying that a person
is not sexually attractive. It used to draw the "no sex/physical intimacy"
boundaries.
'Flames to dust, lovers to friends, why do all good
things come to an end’.

 Breakups are difficult and extremely crucial to a person’s physiological well-

being. This is especially true when a relationship has been deemed as ‘serious’
but eventually ends.
Two main camps for ethics: DEONTOLOGY AND CONSEQUENTIALISM

 The former is the "golden rule" school and the later "the ends justify the means"
academy. Put somewhat differently, something may be ethical based on the
intrinsic nature of the action (deontology), or informed by the consequence of
an action (consequentialism).
 There is a sense in which most people want to be a consequentialist, while
having everyone else be a deontologist. That is, everyone else predictably
follows rules based on the inherent moral worth of actions (or inactions), so that
one may scam the system and reap the rewards.
