Damned If We Do
How is it that some people get to live their lives with absolutely no consequences? They can lie, cheat, steal, get arrested, do drugs, and just generally be useless, but are never penalized for it? Then there are those, in contrast, who spend their entire lives living within the confines of those consequences? People like me, who pay their bills on time, are painfully honest and well behaved, and don't even turn on a 'no turn on red' sign, for fear of getting caught? Who do we fault for this? The parents? Society? The government, the education system? "God"? I'd really, really like to know. Because I've spent about %95 of my life trying really hard to be a good person. If I ever, by chance, fuck up, I get caught. And I get in trouble. Why is it that those of us who are good people seem to be penalized for it, when those that don't give a rat's ass are rewarded? It's a cruel, miserable fucking world we live in, where the good people are damned and the not-so-good are rewarded. I guess all we have to do is look at the political state of the country to see that in action though, right?

and then you get bitched out for bringing this injustice to anyone's attention, cause it makes them feel bad. and then you get to feel bad for feeling bad about feeling like shit. fuck it.
abso-fucking-lutely. I'm hoping we're not the only ones who feel this way.
The problem is your fear of getting caught and the consequences of it. My golden rule is, as long as you're not hurting anyone but yourself, go for it. If you get caught, accept responsibility and pay for what you did. If it makes a good story...all the better. It's liberating...and a lot of fun! A toast to wild abandon!!

yeah, I wish I could approach life that way. I applaud those who can, but I just can't seem to figure it out.
