For example, whenever I overhear gossip about other people, I just remain silent, instead of fanning the flame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly speaking, to intentionally remain ignorant about the news, and not prying to the news takes more courage than mindlessly always checking up on the news. Why? The reason why people are so addicted to the news is out of fear. FOMO, the fear of missing out. The fear that you will miss out some integral piece of information, that will somehow protect you from unforeseen circumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, not checking your email. Not using email. Perhaps the most courageous thing I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve ever done is to not check my email for 2 to 3 years. The courage to miss out on things takes more courage, and also more incentive on your end. Then you yourself have the incentive to go out and make things happen, instead of waiting for things to happen onto you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ethics-by-kim\"><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/ethics\/\">ETHICS by KIM<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" data-attachment-id=\"251011\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/plum1385\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/PLUM1385-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1440&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1440\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;DC-G9&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1594459415&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;12&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.001&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"selfie ERIC KIM talking vlog\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;selfie ERIC KIM talking vlog&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/PLUM1385-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1440&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/PLUM1385-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1440&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"selfie ERIC KIM talking vlog\" class=\"wp-image-251011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/PLUM1385-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/PLUM1385-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/PLUM1385-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/PLUM1385-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/PLUM1385-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/PLUM1385-scaled.jpg?resize=720%2C405&amp;ssl=1 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-own-personal-code-of-ethics\">Your Own Personal Code of Ethics<\/h2>\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2022\/05\/04\/treat-others-carte-blanche\/\">TREAT OTHERS CARTE BLANCHE<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/12\/29\/dont-give-people-what-they-want-or-what-you-think-they-want-give-them-what-you-think-they-should-have\/\">Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give people what they want or what you *think* they want, give them what you think they *should* have.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/12\/28\/anti-small\/\">Anti Small<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/09\/23\/disdain-or-admiration\/\">Disdain or Admiration?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/09\/01\/beware-those-with-good-intentions\/\">Beware Those With Good Intentions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/08\/12\/stubborn-x-flexible\/\">STUBBORN x FLEXIBLE<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/08\/11\/ethics-are-via-negativa\/\">ETHICS ARE VIA NEGATIVA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/07\/25\/obedience-discipline\/\">OBEDIENCE &amp;
