Food Comes First, Ethics Later

I agree for most of people food comes first. Food is nothing but a mans basic need it can be related to money. People go to any extent to get money. People cheat others so that they get some money, people pay bribe so that they get their work done, People murder, kidnap innocent people just for sake of Money (food).

Ethics is given least importance. There are people who try hard not to cheat anyone who want to do things morally right people around won't let that happen how much ever he tries to be ethical there are people who are always going to lead us into doing something against ethics somewhere or other. Hence its difficult for people to stick to ethics.

THus even if we don't want to give much importance to money people around are such that they will force us into doing evrything unethical.

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!

Its the talk of honest world not the corrupted one.

I am a respected person but now I don't have money to eat at instant. I ll not beg for money rather I ll leave as it is crying inside. Its all because I am bound in this type of society. Nobody wants to take initiation to change something.

With good suit I walk around a begger what is in my mind about the begger anybody can know this. See he is begging for food. And with this mind having no respect on human I give the speech of ethics and morality.

Food to hungry begger may come first priority but what if the same food is asked by little hungry kid?The hungry begger can't stand giving the food to the kid its the ethics.

It should be parallel but world has changed now.

Both are on opposite side, but if we consider today's world, then we will realise that food comes first then ethics. It is because of corruption increases which automatically leads to increase in the inflation which directly affect the day-to-day life of a middle class society, who lives with minimum salary but with high expenses. So, if he thinks about ethics, then he will not able to fulfill the foody needs of his family or vice- versa. However, a rich or poor person has full of ethics in their lives, but if they will make starve for one day, then they will realise the importance of food.

Well Food & Ethics are 2 very different aspects of human life. Who says that by doing ethical things you won't get food in life. Ethics are the principles of individuals it inherits inside the person. A wise & ethical person will not go on wrong path like killing or stealing for the sake of food. So it all depends on individual's personality and how he is brought up. If you consider the case of criminals & terrorists they have adequate money to survive for entire life but they still continue on that unethical path as for them ethics don't exist. In short I would like to sum it up that Food & ethics are both important of life and which to choose between them all depends on an individual.

According to me, both food and ethics are important but the priority changes according to the section of people we consider.
If a beggar has ethics and no money, its of no use.
If a rich person has a lot of money and no ethics, he is not worthy to live.

This is purely a situation and people based discussion. Some of us learned it from childhood do forget our life for ethics. You can do an experiment yourself to know which is important. Be starved for one day and than ask the question to yourself.

So the people who lives on footpath, never try to teach them ethics. Give them food because if not given whom you will teach ethics if they would not survive of hunger.

We can't imagine ethics when we have no food to eat. In this globalized era, everyone want to survive and explore more and for this the basic entitlement is food, clothes and shelter.

Now, after fulfilling the basic needs we should think about ethics because man is a social animal and we belongs to the most intelligent entity of the world who are not only exist but proving that they are the best and it is only possible through coordination and cooperation between them.

Good day pals, 'Food and Ethics which is more important', food I think. Well, thank God for freedom of expression and for this forum, I get to say my mind. Ethics are the principles of an individual which makes him/her what he is, while food is any substance which sustains and helps such individual stay alive & in good health to maintain his principles. "A hungry man is an angry (unprincipled in some situations) man" they say, but that doesn't mean that we should live to eat instead of eating to live. Anyways, the importance of both ( ethics and food) should not be overemphasized, for "what is life without a tiny bit of self respect or acknowledgment (mad), & what is self respect or principles without life or good health (?). In conclussion I'd say " give enough food to 100 armed robbers and I bet you, 50% of them are more ethical and would stick to doing an honest man's job". Thanks for reading.

I think it's tough to compare,
As child take birth from his birth he need food and ethic both to grow up himself,
If nobody won't gives him food he can't live.
And even if nobody won't takes care for him how can he live ?

SO FOOD AND ETHIC ARE TWO SIDE OF ONE COIN.
