All healthy individuals know that honesty is a good ethic, but why is it good and how do we know? What is good? What is bad? What exactly is an ethic? How can we be sure an ethic is good or bad?

Similar questions have been pondered and elaborately discussed by philosophers since before the time of Plato. If the answers were simple, then philosophers would not have argued over definitions for more than twenty five hundred years.

Logics Origin explains how the nature and origin of all behavior is the mental and physical expression of logic. The definitions of good and bad swing on the human perception of what is logical or illogical relative to the fixed focus of universal laws, the Laws of Nature, and that which is logical relative to the Laws of Nature has historically and intuitively been deemed good.
