The best of both worlds?

In the past, many of us have sought the “best of both worlds”. We would pretend to be responsible so we could continue to enjoy the comfort and affection of family and friends. At the same time, we would secretly enjoy the excitement and “proof of power” that comes with irresponsible and criminal behavior. Naturally, a responsible way of life cannot work this way.


If your goal is to be responsible, mixing responsibility with irresponsibility is like taking strychnine with your morning vitamins - the goodness of one simply cannot remedy the bad effects of the other. Our good deeds can never make up for our bad ones, and eventually we will suffer the consequences of trying to lead a double life.
