Welcome back! We hope your weekend was a happy one.

If you've ever studied Western intellectual history, you may recall that it was the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus who argued that we should always be on our best behavior because the peace of mind that such behavior brings is an essential ingredient for happiness. Other great thinkers have argued that, unless we do good in this life, we cannot earn happiness in the next life. Still others have championed more selfless reasons for living a morally upright existence.

Well, the WordMaster is ready to make his humble contribution to this centuries-old debate by examining the language of right and wrong in the workplace! It could prove a historic event, so don't miss a day of it!
