virtue for virtue’s sake can prove to be destructive.

we should not esstentially avoid vices, such as taking the easiest way out, if employing them will benifit us. vices like that should not be pursued for their own sake.

similarly, virtues should not be pursued for their own sake.

both virtues and vices should conceived as a means to an end. you have take into consideration of its effects, not in terms of its intrinsic moral value.

anyways, its obvious that you are very conflicted. i can tell that if you snitch, it won’t make you sleep better at night anyways. if anything, you will lose sleep over it if you tell on him.
