Ethical Issues

LG: What is ethics?
BG: Well....

LG: You don't know do you?
BG: Yes, they are ah....well....it is branch of philosophy that deals with right and wrong and choices we make about what to do, does that make sense?

LG: Hmmm...no
BG: Ok, well it is like what is the right thing to do to your cats? Do you feed them and pet them or slam them against a tree for fun?

LG: hmm..yesterday do you know how you accidently do things. well...that happened.
BG: what happened?

LG: well, since the cats are little i was swinging my sword above them...well...hmmm....i accidently hit them.
BG: This happens a lot with you. And that isn't good is it?

LG: No.
BG: So, ethics would be you and I discussing the way in which you deal with animals. what is the right way to deal with your cats?

LG: not to swing them against a tree and bang them against a tree and not to yell in their ears and not to do anything bad to them just give them food and water and play with them and pet them.
BG: yes, you should apply an ethical system for your cats that is similar to the way you treat your friends. except for the petting part. some friends may not like that.
