[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 16841543, member: 24754"]If you never say anything in the first place, then aren't your ethics and morality already rendered useless? Maybe not, but you've done your part as a individual to dissuade predatory behavior. If everybody held themselves to this standard, then the state of society might be incrementally improved. From a Stoicism perspective, there is no sense of "superiority" to be gained from doing the correct thing. You simply make a contract with yourself to consistently behave in a manner that you deem correct based on your moral rational. And, why would I want to provide future business to a person that makes a living by ripping people off? Just to be clear, per my previous post, I am talking about a particularly egregious case here ($5 for a $1000 coin). IMO, if you sit back and watch somebody get taken advantage of to this degree, then you become something like an accessory to a crime. (In a figurative sense)[/QUOTE]
