Why do we do things because others do it? Why are we following the lead of others? Why not be an individual and do what you want to do?
There was a saying that just because someone does something that it isn't always the right thing to do.
Wise words that need to be given careful thought.
Just because other people get divorced does not mean you should tear apart your own marriage and family. At one time marriage was rock solid, as recent as the 1950s. Then, nearly 85% of all marriages thrived. Today barely 1 in 2 survive. But as more and more people threw away the family structure, out went our morals, out went discipline, and in came the courts telling us when kids could be seen. How irresponsible is that?
Just because someone smokes or drinks alcohol does not mean it is a wise thing to take up. It is a proven fact that smoking kills, and excessive alcohol will cause major health problems as well as destroys lives. And for the notion that smoking or drinking is "cool", no it isn't. Instead, it is stupid behavior that must be avoided at all costs.
Just because someone pulls out a gun and shoots innocent people does not mean you should seek revenge by going after this maniac with the intent of killing that person in the name of justice. The courts, albeit corrupt and not delivering justice most of the time, should still be given the responsibility of putting murderers in their proper place.
Just because some people feel it is ok to engage in lewd activities, especially on television or in public, does not entitle underaged kids to mimic and repeat these people. Actions do have consequences, and a lot of what goes on in tv shows should be avoided. Think twice before acting out.
Just because our government can't get a grip on its own finances does not mean we as individuals should become irresponsible with our own money and spend beyond ones ability to pay for items. Take the high road and reign in your spending habits. Focus on the needs first. Save up for wants. Otherwise, a bank will come in and take away, everything.
Just because isn't a good enough reason to do the things we do. Just because is an invitation to danger, irresponsible behavior, criminal behavior, immoral behavior, and opens a can of worms that isn't easily closed.
Be yourself, be responsible, and do the right thing. Avoid the temptations and peer pressure, and set a positive example.
