It seems that in the presence of immorality, morality defeats morality.

If there exists, on earth, a morality which is perfect, then it will be defeated when it comes into contact with an immorality. 

If a person who is perfectly moral meets a person who is perfectly immoral, the immoral person will kill the moral person and the moral person will let it happen, because it would be better to die than to sin.

Conscience is a force in our decision making which is suppressed with practice in doing evil. 

Practicing evil diminishes conscience more quickly than practicing good builds conscience.

People proficient in practicing good -- people with strong conscience -- group together in order to stay above evil, working hard at keeping each other from suppressing their conscience. Nevertheless, people of strong conscience are pulled down more frequently than people with weak conscience are pulled up.

Crime increases in areas without police, not necessarily because criminals move there, but because "good" people become criminals when they aren't afraid of justice.

The world is becoming more and more immoral, slowly. Even circles of strong morality give in little by little in order to stay "relevant". Small compromises are made here and there, and those opposed to the changes are scoffed at by the short-sighted. Big changes are rarely accepted, but we've always been slowly slowly moving in the wrong direction.

The world is a battlefield. Morality is losing and we all know it, but we struggle and fail anyway, because it is better to die than to give-in completely.

We live hoping that our champion will return someday and win the fight once and for all. We even make movies about it.

Sometimes I wonder how far I am in the wrong direction. My ancestors have been compromising their morality little-by-little every generation. I wonder how much of what I accept is completely wrong... How much of my life will God look at and say "Zac, you didn't know, but I forgave you for this every day."

"I don't know what is right anymore."
