Food Comes First, Ethics Later

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 .

First of all I will be very thankful to whome give me a chance to present some view about the topics of food comes first, ethis later. So according to I think both things is imprtant in our life. And I think we should take both things at a time. And we can do it. And also we should coperate in some situation. If we are rich so there are no problem to take both things at a time, if we are not rich so by cooperating and managing we can take both things. Like if we have 100 rs for food. But in 60 rs we can take normal food so rest 40 rs rupees we shoud spend in ethics. Because God has given a imprtant time to do some good work. We should spend our life in good work because there are time for everybody.

Hi, friends, as we all know that " food & ethics " are just like two eyes of the face. Both food and ethics are important for human to survive in life or in society. Food is the basic need for a human. When we follow the ethics then we definitely get food. Without food you can't live so I agree that food comes first, ethics later.

In daily life, we are working just for our basic needs like food, shelter & cloths. After basic need, we think about the ethics. Then we follow the ethics.

And, I totally agree with you @Harpreet. Our today life is very practical and we need the energy to survive in life. And whole energy is getting from the food, not from ethics. So food comes first then Ethics.

Hi friends.

In my opinion the food is more important than ethics for whom who can't even afford three time food in a day.

If anyone is hungry then how they can differentiate b/w what is ethics and what is not. They only think that how to get food. We always see people committing crimes, like murdering someone, or looting someone and we only say that people not possess ethics. Sometimes we blame prostitutes making money out of selling their body.

But as we notice why he/she doing that. No one wants to be criminal. I think only poverty make them to do so.

But for middle class or rich, ethics should come first. After all we are humans most intelligent in living things in this planet.

Nothing is good or bad on this earth. But the thinking makes so. Food, water and shelter are the bare minimum requirements for any human beings on this earth. Ethics are only for good people and that is something Kinda an inborn quality and about the bad guys it is simple non existent. But to live in this highly civilized world.

We do require ethics. I suppose, you all will agree the point that ethics can only be followed when one is alive. And the later is only possible if one is able to satisfy his basic necessity of food and water. So, practically. The statement 'Food Comes First, Ethics Later' holds true. But, as I earlier told it is debatable considering the type of person.

It's difficult to choose between two fare things but I will support ethics. Ethics always says that we should distribute food equally amongst the society and should do the proper managment of it. Augmented with it, it says it should not be bring to home with improper ways so that it unbalances the society and will creat difficulties in future life. Some my colleagus said that, you will understand the hunger when you will starve for day but I want to clarify that even beggar earn his money with ethicsecome the he never try to steal things and so maintain the balance in society. But if you break the rule over food then it will solve the problem of one but become problem of many.

In my opinion I think that food and ethics both are important at their places.

Food is the daily need of people. But in todays era of corruption if someone is honest and earns his daily earning legally then he or she is considered mad in our society.

So its like if someone even tries to be ethical then the society does not encourage that.

And in my opinion this may be one of the reason that why our country is still underdeveloped.

Though food is important but that doesnt mean that we should acquire unethical methods to earn money and food.

Think if out of every 100 even 50 try to be ethical in life then our country can become a developed nation!

Of course both food and ethics are very very crucial for a healthy society. But if the question is 'WHAT COMES FIRST?', I would just request you to conduct a small social experiment.

Look at that young girl who looks malnourished because she has never had enough to fill her stomach. Her skin is burnt and her feet bruised because she has been begging all day with her younger brother in her arms at the traffic signal you cross everyday. Look at her in the eye and ask her if she cares more about her daddy's work ethics or about the food he manages to bring home that is barely enough for them to survive.

I won't answer this question. Let her do it.

According to me, food will always be coming first from ethics. Because as we know that all humans are to the world to doing some work and spend their life happy. For doing work and spending happy life we require energy to do work so life will spend happily. By the principle of law of conservation of energy, we required some previously maintained energy which obviously comes from food. That's why food comes first, as we satisfied we with basic need we concentrate on secondary need that is society. In which each human has its own prospective and living manner. To maintaining this we required ethical values. Therefore food comes first ethics later.

As ethics says the person who is having anything which is more than enough should distribute that to everyone who all longing for that. If we follow this ethics there won't be any problem for food.

But before achieve that state of having enough thing, one's first preference will be to the food. This situation occurs only because of unethical hoardings.

So to me both food and ethics are important and both are inter related things. The preference given is purely depend on the People's status and character.

If you take a thief an beggar, their first preference is only to FOOD. For beggar, his second preference is ethics, so he is not a thief.
