Ethic of autonomy is the proud doctrine that proclaims the freedom to decide for oneself, yet craves only the validation of others. It lauds personal responsibility as a virtue, while insisting someone else must clean up its failures. It celebrates individual independence but wields exclusivity to eliminate others’ choices. Only loudly championing autonomy when it pleases, and vehemently opposing it when others exercise the same right.

Promise keeping is the ritual of conscience that emerges just before mutual agreement collides with reality. Often equated with mere social courtesy, its failure drastically depletes the bank balance known as trust. Verbal vows parade as dazzling illusions and frequently vanish from the ledger of deeds. One must never forget the irony that fulfilled promises weigh heavily, while broken ones slip away with negligible gravity.
