NO  ONE HAS A   GUN TO  YOUR    HEAD

“Nothing    is  noble   if  it’s    done    unwillingly or  under   compulsion. Every   noble   deed    is  voluntary.”

—SENECA,    MORAL   LETTERS,    66.16b

ou don’t have to do the right thing. You always have the option to be selfish, rude, awful,
shortsighted, pedantic, evil, or stupid. In fact, sometimes there are incentives to break bad.
Certainly, not every criminal gets caught.
But how does this line of thinking usually work out for people? What’s that life like?
You don’t have to do the right thing, just as you don’t have to do your duty. You get to. You want to.
