CHARACTER, ETHICS AS "POWERFUL WAYS OF BEING"

CONTENTS/LINKS

Character is not a "moral" issue nor is it a "weakness" upon which to judge others.  It is simply a "way of being" that enables one to be more effective in life.  (The limited definition means "distinctive mark" about a person, but it has come more to refer to "moral or ethical strength."  And ethics means "getting the best result for those involved.")

This is strictly related to having Power In Life and using that power to create the highest happiness.

See the other power creators, such as habits, learning, etc., besides character.
