"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong."
- Wilford Woodruff
Reflection:
There is definitely profit from doing what's wrong, you can gain a perfect score on a test, or money, you could win that soccer game, or even the girl of your dreams. What you don't get, however, is the satisfaction that you've done something right. Even those with no conscience or consideration would likely ponder on the fact that perhaps they aren't capable of anything unless it's by less than morally correct means. Wouldn't you much rather feel proud that you do everything right, and have that knowledge that you are capable of great things without having to resort to choosing the wrong? I would much rather get a low A on a test and know that that result was the fruit of my efforts than get a perfect score and know that nothing I wrote came from my actual capability as a student.
