Over the last six months we have been talking about how you can write an ethical will, and about various ethical will projects that you can complete. This week I’d like to talk about taking your ethical will to the digital age by creating an online ethical will. Because this ethical will presentation will be accessible by all internet users, you will need to take special steps when composing your content.
The first thing that you need to think about when creating an online ethical will is whether you want to be able to restrict who can view your site or whether you want it to be available to everyone. If you want to restrict who can visit your site, then you will need to utilize password technology in your website’s design.
The next thing that you will need to think about when creating an online ethical will is what you want to say on your site. An ethical will website can be a multimedia display or it can be a simple text display of your thoughts and philosophies about life. You can include family photos, video clips, journal entries, and just about anything else you want to include. One of the advantages of creating an online ethical will, as opposed to a paper ethical will, is that your heirs can view it any time they want, it can be updated easily and your heirs can continue to develop the site after you pass away.
Writing spiritual ethical wills is something that can be enlightening. While creating your ethical will online keep in mind important ethical issues that you want to pass on to the important people in your life and to humanity in general.
