Today on our Call with the Publisher, we discussed the concept of the moral compass. It was really a fascinating conversation, but if you weren’t on that call, we haven’t heard from YOU yet and we’d like to.
Do you have a moral compass, something that points to the true north of your morality? What kinds of things or people does it steer you towards—or away from?
Do you adjust it or is morality a fixed set of ideals? How do you adjust it?
Why do you adjust it? What events or circumstances cause you to rethink your own morality?
Where is true north for you? How did you come to establish it? How far away is it from the magnetic north of popular opinion?
What events challenge men and their concept of morality? Where must true north lie in order to be considered a good man?
