Ethical Dilemma

We're always told about those situations where you have to choose between what's right and what's tempting. And we face plenty of those every day. But every once in a while, we strike one that really is confusing. That's where I am now. What's better? I know what any lecturer would tell me on the matter, and I know what any friend would say.

So what do I do? Do I go with the moral obligation or do I go with the politeness? How do I even begin making the decision? It's not a simple line--it's all grey. What is ultimately the right decision? What will allow everything to turn out for the best? I don't know. That's the problem. If I knew, I would have done it already.

It's not even a matter of pros and cons or right and wrong. And being the person I am, I'm most likely to sit around and not do anything until its too late. Which is precisely what I have been working to avoid. So do I take action? Do I try to play the system? Or do I let things go and see how it all turns out. I have to make a decision before its too late, and I'm afraid of messing it all up...
