Stick to your values

Most people are not likely to do the right thing. If they hurt you and they can get away with it, they will. We live in an unfair world.
It is even worst in the third world, where there are more uneducated people and more people with necessities. Many are thinking first on how to survive, the rest is the rest. The laws are not always rightly enforced and many government officials are corrupt.

Every time we get out to the streets we are likely to suffer an injustice. There are too many different people, with different education, values, etc. People are not always fair, many don’t have morality (or what we judge to be morality), it is a fact.
We have to be ready to face it and personality to stick to our values, to do what we know is the right thing to do.

It is very easy to see everybody doing what is wrong and, when we face the same situation, we do the same, not because we think it’s right, but because everybody else is doing it.

Don’t do it. Stick to your values.
This is your message to the world, of what you think is right, of how you think people should behave, of how you think the world should be. Maybe it will turn up to be it. We are responsible for this world too, each one of us, and the direction it is taking.

By doing the right thing (not only by the law, but by your values), maybe you will influence somebody else’s behavior, which will influence somebody else’s behavior. You may not get out of the situation as the smart ass, as many always like to be. But even if it don’t pay in the short run, you’ll at least have done your part.
You have a role to play in the future of this world.
