Do we do the “right” thing when no one will know the difference?

I know the difference. I’m not saying I always do the right thing (because I don’t, although I never TRY to do the wrong thing, occasionally it all goes to hell in a handbasket anyway), but it’s never a case of “no one will know”. Someone will know, even if it’s only you.

What’s a bummer is that that’s not enough for some people-only external moralities and the threat of being caught keeps them from practicing evil/being bad…
