"Why do people do the things they do?" That’s a good question. You see, we try to do what’s best for ourselves or what’s best for other people. There’s no in-between. Someone always benefits, and someone always gets hurt. There is no equal way to do something without hurting someone. An even deeper question is: "How far can someone go down the wrong path until they are too far down that path and they can’t go back?" The answer is simple: it’s not that far at all. It’s just your own perspective. How far would you go to hurt yourself just to not hurt someone else? Or how far would you let someone go while they hurt you? You see, the real answer isn’t that easy or straightforward. It’s quite complicated. The answer is: if you go too far, you can't go back. It’s a hole. A hole that you dug yourself. A hole you dug so deep you practically dug your own grave. And now, there are two choices: You can go back, or it’s your own funeral. Your choice.
