You Cannot Teach Ethics Without

You Cannot Teach Ethics Without

You cannot teach Ethics without Hardship,
You cannot teach Ethics without Sacrifice,
You cannot teach Ethics without Going Without.

You cannot teach Ethics without Hope,
You cannot teach Ethics without Empathy,
You cannot teach Ethics without Consequences.

You cannot teach Ethics without the supply of Mirrors,
You cannot teach Ethics without touching on Greed,
You cannot teach Ethics without the Milk of Human Kindness.

You cannot teach Ethics without bringing in Rocks and Hard Places,
You cannot teach Ethics without Concrete Examples,
You cannot teach Ethics without supplying A Way Out

You cannot teach Ethics without Horror Stories,
You cannot teach Ethics without Collateral Damage, 
You cannot teach Ethics without Problem Solving Skills.

You cannot teach Ethics without Ways to Bounce Back,
You cannot teach Ethics without Fresh Ideas,
You cannot teach Ethics without Life Experience.
