Things like lying to people, doing other things on work time, downloading copy-writed music. It all seems fine, till one gets caught, then it is a punch to the gut, and I think the most painful part is the personal shame, the fact that everyone is looking at what you have done, and that you are now going to have to pay for it...
How does everyone cope with shame? Do you stop it from flaring up? Or accept it and do the best you can to fix things? |
If you risk doing things that involve consequences, bad things happen when you fail. The best move is not to take those stupid risks. Responsibility comes when you think long term.
Why would you download copyrighted music if there is music that is non commercial and free? You also can produce your music.
If you do not do such things you will feel no shame. Today you may get shame, but I have seen people going to jail. One sad case was a girl who risked herself in a credit card fraud inside a bank.
Sadly she risked, and the bad thing about risk is that you can't estimate the real odds against you.
