Whether you live in the United States or elsewhere, you probably heard the cry for higher ethical standards not just in politics but everywhere. That cry came to our table a few weeks ago when we were considering topics for this issue.

Our discussion led to an outpouring of eye-opening ideas. For a fresh perspective on the prevalence of honesty versus dishonesty, we've started this issue with "Examples that make morals for mankind." In "Is a little evil OK?" you'll find answers to those who say that evil is unavoidable, perhaps even a natural part of human life.

Elsewhere in the issue, the experience described by the writer of "The job stability you deserve" shows how to escape the net sometimes cast by dishonesty. And "Thinking for ourselves" explores how to make good choices, especially when you're part of a crowd.

"Our world—in danger or indestructible?" offers thoughts about praying for the environment. And the editorial this week shows how to break out of the belief that fading energy and diminished hope are a natural outcome of aging.
