It seems like the line between wrong and right has been blurred almost none existent! Even though somebody else might not know if I do something wrong - I KNOW WHEN I DO SOMETHING WRONG... and God definitely knows when I do something wrong! I also believe in "what goes around comes around." Every time I've done the right thing - something better has come along! It's true... This sort of behavior makes me sad - what is wrong with people?

When I was in college my freshman year I went in to pick up my scholarship check and noticed that they had overpaid me by about $1500. My roommate wanted me to just pocket it and chalk it up to it being their fault. But, being the honest guy I am, I took it back in and showed them their mistake. They eventually got it all straightened out. I like to say I turned it back in because I'm just a good guy, and not focus on the fact that the main reason I gave it back was because I just knew that if I kept it, they would come after me at some point demanding I return the overpayment they made. But hey, I was a freshman in college. I have grown since then and I know now that I would do it for the right reasons. My roommate on the other hand gives me a hard time to this day about not keeping it to buy us a new stereo for our apartment. Good call man.
