When one follows his heart and refrains from doing something his heart tells him not to, one his following true ethics. Ethics are not rules and regulations, ethics are not standards or codes set by someone outside one's own self. Ethics is call of the heart - a deep feeling at the heart that tells one what is right and what is wrong. Ethics is the ability to discriminate and act accordingly in tune with one's higher self.
Many people are "honest" not because they are truly honest but because they are too cowardly to commits acts of dishonesty. It takes guts even to be dishonest. If such people are given the guarentee that they will not be caught, most of them will willingly act unethically given the chance. So "ethics" that exists in a person out of cowardice is not actually ethics but a compromise borne out of sheer helplessness to face one's fear to act dishonestly. A person who is outwardly honest but secretly wishes and dreams of earning money even by unethical means is a hypocrite.
