So I'm Still a Kid

My junior, yeah my J.U.N.I.O.R, in pharmacy said I'm still a kid. Was complaining to her the other day about how I cannot stand it when patients lie to get what they want. Her reply was, "You've been a pharmacist for 3 yrs and you still feel 心理不平衡?! So like a kid."

What has this got to do with being a kid anyway. We've all been taught in school and at home that lying is morally wrong. MORALLY WRONG! So being a patient/ customer does not automatically make is right for you to lie to get what you want. Don't those people even feel a modicum of guilt when lying? Or does being an adult gives you the automatic right to lie?!

I know human beings cannot live on morals alone, but it is fundamental when living in a community because without the element of trust, the community's stability weakens; everybody will be wasting time setting up barriers to make sure they don't get conned, and at the same time preventing people who really do need help from getting it. Case in point, drug addicts that make use of legal loopholes to procure drugs to satisfy their addiction. So the government puts in new laws and makes it more and more difficult for the drug addicts to obtain the drug. Who looses out? Patients, such as those with terminal cancers, who really need the drug for their pain relief.

Come to think of it, maybe that's why the human society is not progressing. Moral values that we teach children are not practised by adults. The underlying message children are getting is: it's okay, when we reach adulthood moral values no longer apply to us. Worse: why bother with morals when my parents are not practising what they are preaching.
