Morals

Question: Pretend if you had a wife/husband, now lets say someone would give you a hundred dollars to cheat on your wife/husband would you do it? No, you wouldn't, however what if the reward was increased to one million dollars with the guarantee of nobody knowing. Would you now?

Yes - There are several possible reasons for opting yes for it. For example if you were poor, in this way not only would you have money now to pull yourself out of financial burdens such as credit card bills or taxes. Not only that, if you told your wife/husband or your wife/husband ever somehow found out, you are poor... Think about it, she/he will (hopefully) understand. Further more, there is a guarantee that nobody will ever find out, so that's basically a free million dollars.

No - Blah Blah Blah GUILT... Anything more to say?!?!? I mean, the guilt could lead to depression,insanity or whatever. Immorality is another thing, a person's honor happens to be a valuable thing and often, they decide correctly when defending this. Such this is because the person in question feels 'dirty' for accepting this offer. However what if, your wife/husband needed surgery and this was the only opportunity to be able to afford this expensive surgery. You would probably accept the offer, your wife/husband would likely understand. If you say no, you're trying to hard to do the 'right' thing. Life isn't always about being the better man/woman, sometimes you have to do an underhand tactic to get what is required.

Argument - Everyone would always say no first, when asked this question. To look like a moralistic character etc... But with the real deal people are broken and circumstances change. You cannot be sure you would never take the offer.

*Everyone has a price* - There will always be a way to persuade or bribe an individual. Nobody is immune to this. Whether it is torture or harming your family, there will always be a way. Bribery doesn`t necessarily need to be money, it could be protection, etc... Which finally boils down to: there is always a limit any individual will endure before their morals are lower than their needs and or priorities.
