Reading jpf's journal

We all make compromises in life. I'm one of those who said they'd never do anything bad or break any laws, I've always strived to be a good citizen. I've never done drugs, drank under age, broken any laws until recently, I've lived a very sheltered, doccile life. But when push come to shove, I find myself compromising and breaking the very rules of our society I've tried so hard not to. When forced into a position where money is the only solution and in addition to following a naive philosophy of two wrongs making a right, I've stolen to fix a problem, I've looked the other way while i've ripped off others whom I've known it to be of little consequence for them. I feel powerless to stop this behavior when faced with the option of having my life ruined or fixing it through these means. Is this selfishness? Yes. Will I get whats coming to me? Probably. Can I stop this? No.
