Plato posited an ethical conundrum called "The Ring of Geiges." In a nutshell, here it is: Geiges found a ring which, when he wore it one way, he was visible, but when he rotated it, it made him invisible. While invisible, he could do all kinds of bad things undetected. He could steal, rape, murder, whatever he felt like doing. Now, the question is, why shouldn't he use the advantage this ring gave him?

Plato's Socrates could think of no reason except this: When you live a life of deception, you make yourself alone in the world. You may physically be with other people, but in a more profound sense, you are alone.

I don't know who coined it, but I like this saying: "Character is what you have when the lights go out."

A lot of people in our business are doing things they don't want others both in and out of the industry to know about. This is something about themselves they'd be very smart to question.
