Illegal or wrong

LeaderOfMen

Sometimes
the things you do
are only illegal
if you get caught
Sometimes
the things you do
are just fucking wrong
no matter who finds out
Sometimes
the things you do
are so wrong, and even more illegal
but seem so right.
Sometimes
the things you say
you know will offend a few people
but you say it anyways
Sometimes
you can be such an asshole

let's get it straight.....there's so much hypocrisy around.....our housekeeper in bangkok called it 'sweet mouth, sour ass' - she used to work for Americans.....people are two-faced.....all this talk about morals, integrity, truth is so much bullshit......people are out for themselves and their kin and kith......they talk the talk.......people talk about morality and integrity......so where's the surprise?.....all the classics are full of existential philosophical moral conflicts etc, but people don't act in real life, like they do in films and books......they're dishonest to put it plainly, and they're hypocrits, because they talk about goodness and right.....but really it's all propriety.....putting up a face for society, and getting down and dirty behind all the veneer......I find it sickening, that there is this moral imperative in everything in the media.....but underneath it all.....we're worse than animals......when does that ever get talked about......why are you so surprised?......that's what I can't figure out, I'm the only person I know who is really shocked at the double standards.......?
