We all struggle with moral dilemmas throughout the day. Sometimes we make the right choice, even if we don’t want to. Sometimes we don’t. Here are some moral questions that came up for me recently in which I can’t promise I made the most honorable choices.
Listen: we all make poor decisions. That’s the inherent fallibility of human nature. I am fully aware that it would be more polite to use a napkin instead. But sometimes, you’ve got to live a little.
- Is it wrong to sell store-baked goodies at a bake sale?
- If my slippers kind of look like real shoes, can I wear them to work?
- What about pajamas that sort of look like a nice silk suit? (I’d leave the kimono at home, of course.)
- How many times through the buffet line is considered too many? Is a fourth time too greedy? Will the bride and groom even notice?
- If Cheetos are made with real cheese, shouldn’t they be allowed on the Atkins diet?
- Is it really that important to read a book all the way through to the end before leaving a Goodreads review?
- Does watching Survivor make me white trash?
- Does it really matter, since I’m not going to stop watching Survivor either way?
- Shouldn’t watching Downton Abbey counteract the white trash Survivor label?
- Is the Five Second Rule null and void if the cat licks what I dropped before I pick it up again?
- Can cat saliva kill you?
- Will people be able to tell if I refill the designer hand soap bottle in the bathroom with V05 shampoo?
- If I scratch my white car, can’t I just use Wite-Out® to fix it?
- If my skirt comes down past my knee, do I have to wear nylons? Can’t I get away with wearing knee-highs?
- Is it okay to use your sleeve as a napkin if there’s nobody in the room with you?
Listen: we all make poor decisions. That’s the inherent fallibility of human nature. I am fully aware that it would be more polite to use a napkin instead. But sometimes, you’ve got to live a little.
Will anyone really notice?
