Sometimes it seems that good intentions are doomed, destined to be drowned by the many desires which, although they started by being mere wishes, ended up becoming true “needs”. The accepted ethics, for example, show the path to honesty. But, if someone finds themselves at a crossroad where they have to choose between behaving ethically or following different criteria, which path will they take if they accept to be guided by excessive ambition, need to control, financial gain, fame at all costs? These goals rise admiration - at first. Then a desire to emulate is born. “Why not me?”. Such media-inspired models keep popping up in front of their eyes and their beliefs, so principles and priorities change. How much will they be influenced by environment, solicitations, peer pressure? Sound principles, oftentimes, seem to get shoved farther and farther, till they first lose meaning, then value, to be finally forgotten.
