Lost iPhone Brings Scoundrels, Sharks and Shysters Out of the Woodwork
The author of the above story poignantly demonstrates how sometimes morals are completely thrown out the window. I myself would like to make one point from this story. We are caught in an era where the populace will skewer the Wall Street Robber Barons ad infinitum, and rightfully so, for their colossal moral failures which have devastated the world’s financial economy. We can plainly see though that individuals, nobody’s, will make deals with Satin all day long, just the same. It is hard to point fingers at moral and ethical failures with a seemingly large proportion of our population that has no moral standards left.
Reading the above article I would surely believe that there are thousands of bloggers, lusting for cash, who would have done the same thing as the mentioned perpetrators. There are certainly a large number of people who would sell their soul for the potential for such notoriety. Too bad, I say.
A friend told a story about visiting Europe years ago. This happened I believe in the 1980′s. He left his camera equipment, a set of Nikon or some high-end hardware, in a high-traffic public place. He discovered his mistake the following day, and went back to retrieve his camera equipment. Astoundingly, it was sitting in the camera bad, on the public bench, exactly where he had left it. It was completely untouched.
As you read this, you may be on one side or the other, but I sure long to belong to a community with such great respect for other people. Unfortunately, no matter where one is, the ethics of the town are a crap shoot anymore. How thoroughly sad this is.
