"Is a person who curses other people, but is charitable towards the homeless a good person? Is a person who doesn't let his or her friends cheat off their tests a bad person?" ~Yang Yeo-Jin, Saint Marie (Vol. 2)
No one in the world is truly good. No one in the world is truly bad. Some people are just, while others are injust. That doesn't mean they're good or bad. They just stood for what they believe in. Take Snape from the Harry Potter books as an example. He was a Death Eater, but he became a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Although his actions have been deemed evil, such as killing Dumbledore (actually put him out of misery), he was really good at heart. It seemed fitting that he died a hero. So basically, the girl you think is so "heavenly' might actually be a badass, while that emo guy you think you hate might actually be a decent guy.

Choices
"The consequences of every act are included in the act itself." ~George Orwell, 1984
That is so TRUE. No matter how GOOD or how BAD an event is, there's always this aftershock. Whether you cheat on a test or have sex while you're fifteen, there's another event that happens when the present one passes. You might get an STD, you might get raped, you might get pregnant (if you're a girl), or nothing might happen to you. It's like you go on one road & that road branches off into more roads. Some are dirty, some are clean, some lead to nowhere. The key is to make the right choice, whatever that is. That's because there is NO right choice. You either do it one way or you do it the other. Or the other other...Sometimes the "right" choice just comes to you like an instinct. It's plain & simple. In this thing called "life," just do the THINKING before the ACTING. You might just actually get somewhere.
