Sometimes in life, we face decisions in which we choose to sacrifice personal or otherwise, do not make that sacrifice and thus do harm to others.
Trying to give a further twist to this article say that most people are content with not being 'bad people' or try to be good people and only a few people are thoroughly bad. You may ask how I came to that conclusion ..
You should start by explaining that over the years I've noticed that 'good' is socially frowned upon, but against what you might expect, most people consistently make bad decisions, meaning that it wrong more damage than the satisfaction that comes of the decision and want to make clear that I am no exception in this regard.
When a person is faced with a decision, either, for example choose wine or beer, it provides value for a number of criteria which are purely visceral and logical.
At first I thought that people with more stringent moral standards tend to overcome their desires and choose the most reasonable choice. Eye, which does not have to be the opposite of their wishes as most of the time what you want (beer instead of wine ..) does not hurt anybody. If the person had a more flexible fit more moral alternative 'not bad'.
I wondered why a good person could fall into the second group .. In the end I concluded that the process followed to take the selfish option tends to be that somehow in a lack of will to do that instead of doing what is right and oppose our desires, we modify our ethical rules and moral to do what we want if we can not 'see it as well done' at least not see it as 'bad'. Thereby avoid self-condemnation. The second step is to hide the reality that we the people who will be damaged and finally not to talk about with people who know they will not agree with what you're doing.
With all this what you believe is a framework in which what you're doing is not wrong and therefore is not bad and you can indulge your desire, whether to eat a cake or diet skipping otherwise.
many phrases I remember from my childhood, but my mother told me to join it I thought about compounding. If you do not know if something is right or wrong, think what would happen if everyone found out that you do that you're thinking. That is, if I have to hide to do something, if I can not tell something to so and so, perhaps should not be doing ..
