True Zero, but two wrongs don't make it right. Scum is scum no matter how ya slice it.
i don't see why anyone uses that quote. what does making a right have anything to do with it. the point isn't to fix their relationship, to make the world right, to make everything nice and sugar coated happy again. someone's getting the shaft in the end, and it's going to be the husband. you might as well reap the benefits.
another scenario: say you find a wallet (fat one at that!) while walking home with pure cash, no possible way to identify who it belongs to. it also contains a ticket stub for a plane trip to africa, one way, leaving 3 weeks ago. for the purpose of this scenario, the airlines have no possible way to pull up a list of that plane's passengers.
the end result is evident: some poor man has lost $50,000 usd.
the question is, do you take the money for yourself, or do you leave it there for someone else to find and take and spend? feel free to dissect the problem to absurd levels and avoid the question altogether if it makes you feel better to avoid the problem. the man who takes the money gets ahead, and the man who takes the woman simply gets head (ok, bad joke, but the point stands). i realize some have moral issues, whehter it be a belief in karma, or that all money should be hard-earned the old fashioned way, but these all have more or less to do with
personal ideals. you may as well damn the man for not being a christian.
i would take the money. you may not- but a new 350z and the rest of my college tuition is going to add to my happiness scale significantly, which i personally feel is what this life is all about (i'm an existenialist more or less, if there's an afterlife then sweet deal, but i'm not going to depend on it). maybe the karma you believe you'll receive would be worth more to you, to each his own.
i went on a rant, but the main point was it's not his fault for taking advatange of an oppertunity IMHO. i reserve my judgement for a$$holes who rape young kids, who CAN be held responsible for the sh!t that you see in papers.
