Searching for ethics

These days I have read about the Sermon on the Mound. As I face another semester of Jesus of Nazareth I realize how much I will have to work to design a course that will really put my students in a reflective mood.

Sometime I question myself about my motives for doing one thing or another. Yesterday, for example, I had the temptation of doing something that, at first, would seem good for me. It meant removing someone of whom I don't think fondly. Yet I considered how stupid I would look if, in doing so, I showed just how morally weak I am. But I still think about it.
