Doing things in order to benefit solely yourself and disadvantage innocents is wrong, period. Sure, a guiltless person achieves their goals more readily, but at the end of the day, they are alone. No matter how many people they surround themselves with, they can never show their true selves to others, because they KNOW inside they are appalling, and they can and will burn every bridge they come across if it suits them, and eventually, people catch on to that. They lead hollow lives. You should be proud that you have some standard of morals, and not that you're being held back by being a "good person", that you have something inside of you telling you to do the right thing. Don't be an starfish, and if you ever are, apologize, they're not hard rules to follow. If anyone is having trouble with that, I don't think I can say anything to help you that hasn't been said to you before, by someone much smarter than me. |

if you did scam people back in the day, then it might be good to imagine what would you be thinking right now. Like, do you think you would be glad that you did it for the money, and not be bothered by morals, or would you regret it/feel scummy? |

I just find its about loving the people around you, its really hard to do sometimes, and I feel like having something you believe in as a higher power helps you do this because you see everything that is happening around you as a plan that is yet to be fulfilled, and you have to then believe that there is a plan for everyone else, and that something nice or considerate you do will help that person, part of the plan for that person to succeed or feel better or be encouraged. its about valuing strangers enough that you have no desire to do them ill. like i said, a very hard thing to master for anyone |
