Good vs. Evil
"Bad company ruins good morals."
- 1 Corinthians 15:33
It's easy to cast the first stone, but it's no fun getting hit. With this in mind, I just want to say that it's easier to allow yourself to do what you find appalling. Even as I sit here with sadness in my heart for someone else's losing battle, I can't promise that I won't follow their example without trying to condemning them for what we both do. And in the end, I think we would all be much happier if we listened to our conscience. If it sounds bad coming out of somebody else's mouth, it's not going to clean up before coming out of yours.
Bad company does ruin good morals. I know this from my experience and I know this from other people's experience. We all know at least one person who has allowed acquaintances of theirs to cloud otherwise good judgement. If this goes on long enough, that good judgement will slowly turn bad and bad will always turn to worse. I'm seeing that now. At a certain point, you have to turn around or else even the one's who were trying their patience will start to run thin. I'm seeing that now too.
It's always better to be good than to have good intentions. Only you have access to the knowledge of what you intended. Everybody else only has the knowledge of what you do.
