Moral Debate

If you do wrong things for a right cause is it considered good? If you do right things for the wrong cause is it bad?

These and many other questions swirled around in my head as I pondered what to do. I knew that I had to save her, but at what what cost. How far was I willing to go to save the one I loved? I kept wishing for an answer and none presented itself.

I finally decided that I would try to kick up my prices a little to help the cause. I would also get another job, at night, to pay for her. I had to find a way. She could not stay there.

I found a custodial job at a high end law firm that would be willing to pay extra for discretion. I was more than willing to jump on that opportunity until I knew what discretion really entailed.

The company was corrupt. The higher up people knew it and didn't care, they were the ones with the shady business deals and stolen money.

I was paid a pretty penny to clean toilets and dust filing cabinets and above all keep quiet.

Cleaning the men's restroom, knowing all the information that I knew brought me back to my original question: is doing the wrong thing for the right reasons okay?

"Lord you know who and why I'm doing this. I'm not doing anything illegal or immoral, at least I think. I'm very confused as to why I would be placed under this situation. It males no sense to me. Help me find sense Lord." I whispered while cleaning. I was dead tired and aching from the manual labor required of a custodian. It was midnight and my job was far from over. I still had three floors to clean and an appointment at seven the next morning.

I really had to hope this would be enough to get her back because I didn't know how much more I could take.
