To have a beautiful life is to have money.
It might come off as a very shabby and materialistic mindset, but in the end everything revolves around getting money.
The problem with money is that the demand is greater than supply which makes it difficult to access. In the midst of chasing it we are exposed to other means of getting by, at a point it becomes a clash between what is right and what is needed.
How do you navigate such a tricky situation?
It sounds like an easy decision until you are faced with a real life situation where you have to make a choice.
Mind you in the context of provision both decisions are good because they lead you to a different path.
A practical example of the above is,
If your daughter needs urgent medical care ( life and death situation) and you don't have enough money to cater for her medical bills, but you have the key to a safe where you work and then you break in at night.
You decide to take a few dollars out without the company knowing and someone else takes a fall for that sole decision but your daughter is hale and hearty.
A part of you is proud of saving your daughter, while the other side judges you for ruining another person's life.
This is the first time you have ever been in such a dilemma.
You are fighting the thought of confessing because your daughter needs a present father and you can't afford to be locked up.
Who will care for her?
But then an innocent person is in prison for your sins!
If you hesitated and listened to your morals, would you be able to sleep at night knowing that your daughter would be alive if you took a different decision.
Now you have to live with the guilt.
Whenever you put your morals to the test against money, you are subconsciously losing your ability to put humanity first.
What you do when no one is watching is a true test of your character especially when it's a decision that goes against what you stand for.
Mind you most people will also make the same decision as you. If an opinion poll is put up , the majority will support your decision albeit anonymously, which is a validation the brain needs to accept your choice as right.
What will your morals say?
I guess it will understand that you needed to save a life and that is the right decision even if it's against your core values or in this case societal values since you already went against it.
