For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.For me it is underpinned by basically Christian values. Help others as much as you can; do no harm to anyone; support your community and help those who need help; put yourself and your needs second and think through your own actions to see how they are compatible with your beliefs. In my case I also worship the Lord Jesus and try to keep the church going. This is a very difficult question when you go into it. I have a horrible feeling that current Western values are more 'me' based - the 'selfie' culture.
It makes for a very unstable feeling so far as I am concerned. I spent 2 days at Alton Towers last week (pre-booked for grandkids and marriage is breaking-up so I stepped in) I hated almost every moment except for interaction with daughter and kids. People were so self-obsessed, seeking gratification and isolated. I suppose that makes me old fashioned. OK., so be it.

now to send Theland into apoplexy....the answer is Judaism - a long time around before any notions of Clhristianity - and surprise, surprise, the OT underpins the Torah and the Koran.....hence the tri-Abrahamic religions - one God, one hundred disciples and a thousand wars later.
Thank God that atheism = realism.

Nailit - Bankers do it all the time. They get away with it, and if they don't, all they get is a nasty headline.
So rationally, if you are in a position to do do so, why not grab and go and laugh all the way to the bank?
Self interest and sod the rest of you is the way to go is it not?
After all, self interest underpins this persons interests.
Yes?
