Ethic paper Ringed heart lotus
The qualities that I find essential to determine my own standards of morality in everyday situations have come from the Ringed Heart Lotus diagram. I have chosen Happiness, Fairness, Truth, Growth, and Freedom from the Lotus portion of the diagram. ... From the Heart I have chosen Patience, Respect, Mindfulness, Wisdom, Honesty, Responsibility, Consensualness, and Ahimsa. These traits need to be directed towards the "blossoming" of the Lotus in order for them to be of positive worth. They are the instruments that help to cultivate the ultimate goals and consequences of the Lotus. From the Ring of rights and obligations I have chosen all four aspects, the Lotus Principle, Interconnectedness, Individuality, and Reverence For Life. ... One takes into account the actions of those around him and is able to apply the Lotus Principle. ... The Lotus Principle aspect of universalizability goes against ending of life. ... One is not applying the Lotus Principle when one ignores the negative outcome for the animal and only chooses to see the things that benefit him.
