Ethical VS Moral.

Yesterday I was watching NCIS and one of the characters, Ducky, said something that really captured my attention. The direct quote was “The ethical man knows he shouldn’t cheat on his wife, whereas the moral man actually wouldn’t.” 

This made me think of how people live their lives, what they are doing in their lives that may go against what I feel is moral or ethical. More specifically I was thinking of David and I. How we go about things differently, how we may feel differently about things and the choices that we have made. (OK, I will be honest, I thought mostly about David)

I know that David is an ethical man. He knows the difference between right and wrong. He knows what he should and should not do. Is David a moral man? I want to believe that he is. I want to trust that he is. I know that he has made some mistakes in the past, I know that he regrets those mistakes and I hope that he will never repeat some of those mistakes.

I would like to believe that I am an ethical person. I know right and wrong, good and bad. I hope that I am a moral person. I try very hard to stay true to what I believe is right and wrong. I am loyal to my husband, I cannot even stand the thought of even trying to be disloyal to David. I am so odd that I feel guilty that other guys even look at me. 

I am not a perfect person. Really is there a perfect person anywhere? I would like to think that I am a nice person though, I would like to think that I am a moral person.
