 Ethics is a requirement for human life.
 It is our means of deciding a course of action.
 Without it, our actions would be random and
aimless.
 There would be no way to work towards a goal
because there would be no way to pick between a
limitless number of goals.
 Even with an ethical standard, we may be unable to
pursue our goals with the possibility of success.
 To the degree which a rational ethical standard is
taken, we are able to correctly organize our goals
and actions to accomplish our most important values.
Any flaw in our ethics will reduce our ability to be
successful in our endeavors.
