So what's your suggestion that we should do? I'm all ears….

Pat your mortgage and still try to be a decent person who makes ethical decisions. Is that unreasonable?

That does not really answer my question. I do that already and I believe I'm a good person.

To say you're a good person is a hell of a statement. What measurement criteria are you using?

Full disclosure, I am not a good person. I am a flawed person who's trying very hard to make good choices but continually makes mistakes so it's not my intention to judge or lecture you.

I'm simply saying the language you use seems to absolve you of any duty to make good choices but maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

Not that lad in particular. It's an attitude that in my opinion causes a great deal of harm. If working people can't come together for the common good we're at nothing.

I will however take your advice and drop it.

Life too short to be worrying about if you're a good or bad person. We all have our faults but nobody is a saint. However most people are good people. In 100 years nobody will even remember we existed.

Therein lies the key difference I suppose. I'd be of the view that in 100 years we'll still exist just not here. All the best
