You can live your life honoring a theoretical black and white line, always doing the right thing the right way. But following the inflexible line isn’t realistic, doesn’t accomodate for our humanness, and leaves us open to those who are dishonorable.

There is always a balancing act between values. How we find our balance is what makes us who we are. One simply cannot always be following the perfect code of behavior. Because at some point, such irrevocable line-following does make one vulnerable to those who don’t have any values whatsoever.

You can apply this same thinking to Iraq; to the death penalty; to abortion. There are extenuating circumstances; there are enemies who only respect blood and violence.

It is a lame rationale to view such a complex issue with blinders on, and claim it does NOT depend. In fact, no matter how loudly you shout it, the answer remains the same. It depends.

the justice of your choices will make you feel that you have a purpose in life or you need to stop being an empty wagon.
