The Origin of Evil

The term “ethics” comes from the Greek “ethos” meaning “character”, so its origin lies in the West. This is, as always, not a very solid starting point.

The Human Rights Act traces its roots to the Magna Carter, a 12th-century declaration deviced to protect the wealth of the established barrons and other rich people in the Kingdom of England.

The main purpose of the Declaration was to protect the possessions of the Lords, Barrons from the King.

The first article in the Human Rights Act or the Universal Declaration of the Human renderes the exact purpose of the Magna Charter, namely, to “enjoy their possessions. This right includes property such as land, houses, objects, shares, licenses, leases, patents, money, pensions, and some welfare benefits. Public authorities are generally not allowed to interfere with people’s possessions or how they use them, unless there is a very good reason or it is in the public interest. The law and general principles of international law also apply.”

Though most well-natured and law-abiding people believe that the first Article is ‘The Right to Life’, they are massively deceived.
