Ethics, Morals and Greed

I have always lived by the code of ethics I call "Universal Right vs Reality". We all know right from wrong but many times we over-ride our good judgement and do what we feel makes us happier. People used to have ethics and morals. They would think twice before they did something questionable. Our inner voice would ask us how we would be effecting others with our actions. Somehow, for many of us, that inner voice has been silenced. It is as if we just don't care how our actions will impact others. Freud separated our psyche into three areas: ID, Ego and Super Ego. The ID is instant gratification, the Ego is awareness and Super Ego is conscience. I want to comfortably exist in an Ego/Super Ego world, but unfortunately, lately, I seem to be surrounded by a bunch of ID's. Could that be the root of the word Idiot? Recently some people I have encountered in my life have substituted ethics and morals for greed. They don't realize that Karma does come back to you and one day they will be on the other side of the Universe.
