Are Lawyers Ethical?

!±8± Are Lawyers Ethical?

Many believe that Lawyers are not ethical human beings and that they do not enforce the law or protect the rights of our society. Many believe that lawyers merely use the law and re-interpret the law for the advantage of those paying them to do so. Therefore they are being unethical to the law the purport to serve, as they manipulate the law to mean whatever it is that they wish it to mean for the highest paying clientele. Now some would argue that they are ethical and helping their clients from being abused by law. Yet if so they are not enforcing the law, but modifying either its intent, definition or letter of the law using case law and arguments which are vaguely relevant to any particular reality of the law.

So when arguing the question are Lawyers Ethical, one would have to come to the conclusion that they are pragmatic at best and outright criminals at worst. Yet any lawyer worth his salt will immediately object to such statements and say ask the questions;

What do you mean when you say Ethical?

What is your definition of Law?

What do you consider a definition?

What exactly is a client?

What exactly is reality?

What do you mean by the comment of pragmatism?

This is how a lawyer can justify their criminality or decisions to hide in the shawdows of the gray area of law and proclaim themselves members of a noble and ethical profession and slayers of evil as they enforce the laws for the betterment of the whole of our civilization. Of course all their talk and boloney is pure and utter hokum, but it is nice to know where they are coming from as the refute Caesars best advice; "the first thing we do is kill all the lawyers!" In fact if lawyers were as ethical as they say, we would not have to kill them, as they would kill themselves to save our civilization from their obvious attacks on the truth and our laws. Think on it.

Climate of the Mountains

!±8± Climate of the Mountains

The characteristic features of the climate of the mountains is low temperature, abundant rainfall, low pressure and low relative humidity. Following is a short description of some of the climatic elements found in these climates...

Temperature:

Temperature falls 1 degree F for every 300 feet or 1.6 C for every 1000 feet. As we ascend the mountain, the climate becomes cooler and cooler. It has a special advantage in hot climates. When the surrounding area is hot an humid , these mountain areas enjoy a cool and pleasant climate. For instance, equatorial climates are known for their hot and uncomfortable climate. Yet, Quito, the capital of Ecuador, which is located directly on the equator has a very pleasant climate. It has temperature of every month of 55 F (14 C) whereas the equatorial average is 80 F (27 C). Likewise the hill stations of India and Pakistan were the favorite of the British during the colonial era. Compare fore example the temperature of Murree in Pakistan situated at an elevation of 7500 feet (2250 M) of 77 F (25 C) in peak of summer season with that of Islamabad located only 55 Km away and having a high of more than 100 F (38 C) in the same season.

Rainfall

The mountains receive abundant rainfall to sustain thick vegetation. Usually the rainfall is more than 60 inches (1500 mm). This is because they intercept rain bearing systems and force the moist air to rise. As the air rises, water vapor in it condenses into water droplets and heavy rain falls. Both the heaviest rainfall areas of the world i.e., North East India and Hawaii are mountainous and record more than 400 inches (10 000 mm) of rainfall every year.

Pressure

Pressure falls with height so much so that at 18500 feet above sea level, it is reduced to half of the atmospheric pressure found at sea level. Due to very low pressures breathing problems usually start above 15000 feet and the mountaineers climbing very high peaks like Mount Everest have to take oxygen along with them.

The above is a brief account of the climate present on the mountains which gives an overview of what sort of climate to expect at higher altitudes.

Cyprian of Carthage - On Patience - The Virtue Above All Others

!±8± Cyprian of Carthage - On Patience - The Virtue Above All Others

Genius is nothing but a greater aptitude for patience.
~Benjamin Franklin.

Recalling my days in seminary and the fun times had, including those whopping breaks where table tennis was the staple, I also remember an intriguing study on Cyprian of Carthage--the Early Church Father. I did a study on his work called, On Patience, and I found it fascinating.

Here are some of my condensed notes:

Cyprian links the concepts of wisdom and humility with patience. And to those who are worldly wise: "true wisdom is not with them... neither can true patience be." Further, no matter how wise a person is, if they are "pleased with themselves (i.e. they are not being humble and mild), [they show] they cannot please God."

Cyprian shows us, Jesus is perfect patience. The meaning Cyprian attaches to patience is better described as grace in our time. Jesus was the perfect example-pointedly, if it had been any other way, "the Church would not have had Paul as an apostle."

Jesus is shown as the model of patience; he's so "Jesus-like" to complete in deeds what he required of his disciples, forever patient he was with them.

Cyprian paints an awesome picture of reality in Bearing the Pains of This Life. With all the "effort and toil... there can be no consolations to help those undergoing them except patience." Patience is a critical attribute of the character of the person of God; it doesn't just show how close we are to God.

God's character is patient. When we seek God, we seek to become like him, to behave like him and so we are to strive to work towards, and exhibit, his patience. For, to put up with the world and the "afflictions of the devil," those close to God need patience; patience enough to "bear everything that is thrown at us."

This fruit of patience to persevere through the entirety of life is characterised by Romans 8:25-we wait patiently for that we hope for. In relation to the hope of glory, Cyprian is reminding us to "persevere in patience and strength" so we may actually win the prize.

Love doesn't endure without patience.

In a believer's heart, patience means anger has no room to set up house, certainly not one with strong foundations. Endurance in the midst of extreme pain reveals the righteous in God-"it is their patience that reveals the righteous to be true [as opposed to those]... who complain in adversity and blaspheme in their impatience."

Impatience brings "the devil's curse." Cyprian cuts to an issue of personal passion. He cites areas of major sin that occurred in history; all point to impatience. Not only that, but "it is impatience:

[T]hat produces those who break from orthodox belief within the Church and who,
in their rebellion against the peace and love of Christ, are driven into furious hatreds.

Cyprian was big on schisms in the church-having been personally touched by them-and about those that "lapsed" he wrote a thesis called On the Unity of the Church.

Genius, then, given all the aforementioned, is vast advantage in all things in life if it's agreed that it contributes notably to patience-and along with "thankfulness" could be considered a king virtue. Perhaps again, patience is also accurately considered "grace," in today's terms.

And the real good news is genius can be developed, and it is certainly something that's also identifiable in each of us i.e. "what" we're ingenious with, and how ingenious we can be in given situations. Let us use the learning provided by Cyprian to enhance our understanding of patience, so when we find our genius, we can then in turn have greater aptitude to patience.
