The way I see it ...

IN THE BUSINESS BIBLE, his book about bringing ethical values into the workplace, Rabbi Wayne Dosick observes that making ethical choices can be easier than it might seem:

There are only a few singularly momentous choices you will ever be called on to make. Most of your choices can be small, everyday decisions that, taken all together, weave a pattern of behaviour that guides and ultimately defines you.

Not long ago a man completed a cross-country walk. He had started in New York by dipping his feet into the Atlantic Ocean. He finished his journey in California, where he put his feet into the Pacific.

As he neared his destination, a large contingent from the media followed him on his final steps.

He was asked,“What was the hardest part of walking across the entire country?

“Was it the blazing sun? “Was it the cold rains? “Was it the long trek up the mountains?

“Was it the boredom of the flat plains? Was it the exhaustion that overcame you each night?

”The walker answered,“It was none of those things.

“The hardest part of walking across the whole country was the little grains of sand that kept getting into my shoes.

”When you face the little things first, when you confront the small problems as they arise, you can eventually tame any monster of immorality and slay any dragon of ethical imperfection.
