Where should I break the rules? Wherever I am willing to pay the consequences.
I believe in my personal integrity. I know right from wrong, and if I am willing to justify my actions by breaking the rules of society or my moral code then I better be willing to pay the price.
I have made these decisions in the past. I felt I was entitled to do what I wanted as I pleased. I paid a price. I was incarcerated. I lost my self-respect and that of my peers. It was all do to drinking. I did not care.
Finally somebody did step into my life and gave me not only HOPE, but advice. Follow the rules, all the rules, unless you want to pay the price. It is easy enough. There is nothing in instant gratification that is as satisfying as being able to look myself in the mirror and know I am doing the best I can today.
It may not meet others standards, but I am living by my morals.
