There is dignity in your being even if there's indignity in what you're doing.

If you look at how we are destroying and disrespecting Creation it is obvious that is something is not clear in our understanding. We overemphasize rules but we don't understand the objective.

Because ethics is fundamentally about questioning the ends, the goals and aims of our actions, we must come back to the rules and ask why.
