It's really surprising how within a few years, days, or even moments someone can change. It makes me wonder if they really did change, or if they were just hiding an alternate side. Temptation is the only way to find out people's true colors...disappointing huh? Seeing so many people become numb to wrong choices leaves me with the misconception that there isn't anyone left with a clean slate. I'm not sure how to deal with it anymore. Seeing others' mistakes sometimes makes me want to step into the "grey" area, where you're not sure (or you justify) if something is right. Then again, I have to tell myself its okay to be against the crowd and do things differently, because if I don't set the example for my friends, then I'm afraid no one else will.
"Potentially destructive deviations often seem so small that some find it easy to justify “just this once.” When that temptation arises—as it will—I urge you to ask yourself, “Where will it lead?”
