Q: When you think about ethics and the trust deficit, what gives you the most angst?
A: When I hear the word ethics, I usually think of its meaning in a very broad sense – that is, the difference between right and wrong, moral issues, and so forth. The greed and dishonesty we see in the world is so unnecessary.
Today, most of the less fortunate live better than the wealthiest of only a few generations ago. We see around us very intelligent, highly educated and successful people at the pinnacle of their careers. They have amassed wealth, fame, and ample opportunities for pleasure, yet many of these same people are obsessed with an insatiable desire for more. Because they don’t appreciate what they already have, some of these people are willing to exploit others and violate laws to get what they want, even to the extent that they ultimately get to spend a fair amount of time in jail. What a way to live!
