What ethos
is not

ethos is a stones throw from Khoasan road Banglumpu Bangkok, the premier backpacker/ tourist strip in the Thai kingdom.

As is the case in most world class ex-patriot strips one can enjoy all the usual vices; alcohol, male and female prostitutes, lady boys, illicit substances, fake goods, fake documents, dangerous goods or one can paint the town red, get inebriated or fall for a scam. All of these things are what ethos is not.

For those that want to escape from all this madness, noise and excitement ethos is away from all this, just around the corner in a quiet soi (street) where some neighboring business's are patronized by many people who are into healthy food, activities and fitness, meditation, yoga.



Definitions of ethos

ethos
Moral character.


ethos 
Ethos ( ) (plurals: ethe, ethea) is a Greek word originally meaning 'the place of living' that can be translated into English in different ways. Some possibilities are 'starting point', 'to appear', 'disposition' and from there, 'character'. From the same Greek root originates the word ethikos ( ), meaning 'theory of living', and from there, the modern English word 'ethics' is derived.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

3. the moral element in dramatic literature that determines a character's action rather than his or her thought or emotion.

THE MEANING OF LIFE

Albert Einstein, Mein Weltbild, Amsterdam: Querido Verlag, 1934.


What is the meaning of human life, or for that matter the life of any creature? 

To know an answer to this question means to be religious. 

You ask: Does it make any sense, then, to pose this question?

I answer: The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unhappy but hardly fit for life.
