Pip would have told us to reign it in a little, so why do we still hold such great expectations of our hopes in others?

We ask others to uphold our own values and then are surprised when they choose not to in the pursuit of self preservation. Is it that our own standards are too high or is that society compels people to behave in the primary area of self interest?

Constantly we expect others to show the same integrity as we do, without ever really seeing anything akin to it. But we cannot let our own standards drop. We must continue to operate at the highest levels and attempt to pull others along with us.

Stay true to who you are!
