It’s unfortunate to say but many of the decisions we make are
based on something other than our principles. Sometimes we avoid the
responsibility and pain of separating good and bad, not because we lack the inherent
wisdom but because we lack the courage. There was a Russian writer named Alexander Solzhenitsyn who once said that there is a
line separating good and evil that runs "through every human heart"
and that every action he took, however small, was for one or the other.
The same is true for ourselves.
