Food Comes First, Ethics Later

For sure food come first of all ethics. All creatures are engineered to do almost for survival. People does not hesitate to sell off their own kids for food. So it is unwise to say that ethics come first. There may be few who give priority to ethics than food. Anyway this universe is full of exceptional cases. But here we are discussing about normal peoples. Miss Neha have a very good point but a person can be a patriotic only and only when he is well fed and well educated . For a poor person there is no differance. Naxals are the best examples of this fact. They doesn't bother to kill their own countrymen just for money only. Do you think that naxalism is a war of idealogy? It is just a war of hunger. They poor people even doesn't know what is naxalism is all about. They are simple being targeted by neibour countries, who wants to encash this food fact for distablising india.

My point is food is the primary need of all living things in the world. So the first priority should for the food, no one can become a philosopher without having good nutrition in the life...

Hi ,i believe both are necessary at their places as you can't eat your ethics and vice versa e.g a beggar who want food for his survival cant think of ethics and stop begging just because his ethics don't allow this as no one become beggar from his own choice likewise for a respectful living in society you put your ethics first to have food and other basic necessities.

Hi, ethics are important but after getting food. Because, without food not up to the ethics even human being can't survive.

Hi,Yes both are necessary but not at cost of others life. I agree with shiv that there are naxals who do this same thing. Even other internal terrorist groups who kills others only to serve themselves. This is not done we cannot have food by Hook or crook. The main reason behind it is poverty so, what I feel that government should take corrective measures against them.

Friends, we cannot say which is important because the priority given to ethics or food declares the personality of a human being.

A person who gives importance to ethics not for food becomes great person eg: gandhiji, harichandra etc., if gandhiji had gave importance to food he did not becomes a leader he simply become a lawyer and does his practice. similarly if Satya Harichandra does not given importance to ethics he did not become poor.

The people who gives importance to ethics when they are happy and gives importance to food when they are in need becomes a common man or ordinary man.

The people who gives importance to food not for the ethics becomes thieves and creates problem to the society .

Hi! friends, I'm totally agree with you all...
As we all are aware about the fact that food is the basic source of energy in life, without having food, we can not respond to the things in are practical and stressful life, ethics have their importance after food.. as with food only we get the power to perform any task in life....

Hi, no doubt food is the basic need for survival. But to live a respectful life ethics are must.. food and ethics must go hand in hand for leading a good life.
Though importance of food is more but then you cann't even ignore the ethics. Rest all depends upon the person thinking..

Hi, friends it is not very easy to say weather food comes first or ethics. Sometimes such a situation arises in front of us that we can not give up our ethics for the sake of our belly. We commonly hear that leaders are starving for the demand to be fulfilled, why they do so, there is no personal cause only for the betterment of society. So, in this case we can say ethics first, food later.

All the person who are in the side of food, I would like to make you remember, that all the alive being instead human, he lives for other need, and without this philosophy, there is no existence of life and society. Food is necessary but we can never survive without ethics, eg. terrorism is not a concrete problem, it is a thought, we can't solve it by capital punishment.
