Default Friday Ethics Question


I just want to clear up a few points:

#1 - I discovered when reading the manual for the part that it
was the wrong one. They did not discover it for me.

#2 - I did not post this here looking for "advice" to help
me determin what to do. I know what I think. I was just
curious to see what some you all would say.

I agree that paying is the right thing. But it's the WHY that
I like to hear people say.

I'm not religious so anything like because I will be judged
by God or in the afterlife doesn't do it for me.

I do believe in something bigger like that all actions we
take effect the entire "cosmos" so even though this is a
very small thing - it will either contribute to making things
a little better or a little worse. ~ But even with this
the consequences are so small to everyone that this,
while a good reason, is not all that compelling.

Reasons like "because" or "it's the right thing
to do" are OK, but really don't say much.

My biggest reason seems to be somewhat selfish.
I know that I would always look at our beautiful
boat and trailer and have a little sting of regret
or embarrasment (and some other terms).

Lastly, I do believe a bit in Karma. I agree that
many people use that term almost as lightly as
"because". But if you think somewhat deeply
I do believe one can find real-life-physics
mechanisims that "Karma" can be a short-
hand for. I could type tens of pages explaining
my thoughts behind why "Karma" is real...but
not right now. Time for a beer and then dinner.

Have a good weekend you all.
Gary
