Ethics (oversimplified):

There are, broadly speaking, three ways of answering the question “did I do the right thing?”

Deontology (oversimplified):

An action is right if it is accordance with certain moral duties or commands. Actions are good only insofar as they follow rules, and how we feel when we follow the rules, and the consequences of following the rules, are of a secondary concern. You have duties. Perform them. It is a rule-following ethic.

Consequentialism (oversimplified):

An action is right if it brings about good consequences and avoids bad consequences. How we feel when we maximize consequences may be important, because pleasure and pain are consequences of actions. Rules can be broken if they produce too much pain or harm. If you break a rule, that’s okay, as long as it’s done to bring about a good or better state of affairs. Every action is justified or criticized on whether or not it produces good consequences.

Virtue Ethics (oversimplified):

An action is right if it the person does it in the right way— if their feelings, intentions, and beliefs are all lined up so that they can perform the action in a certain way. Rules and consequences are important, but what is most important is that the person genuinely believes that what they’re doing is right, and is actually doing the right thing, and does not struggle to do so. There is a right belief, right feeling, and right intention, and actions are judged according to these requirements.

Anyone can become angry that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way that is not easy

Aeschines: “I can find nothing to give you which is worthy of you; I feel my poverty in this respect alone. Therefore I present you with the only good thing I possess: myself. I pray that you may take this as my present, such as it is, in good part, and may remember that the others, although they gave you much, yet left for themselves more than what they gave. Socrates: Surely you have bestowed a great present upon me, unless perchance you set a small value upon yourself. I will accordingly take pains to restore you to yourself a better man than when I received you <3
