Cutting Corners

How many wrongs occur, not because people have chosen to be out and out evil, but because they've taken a shortcut to having a good result. You know, the idea of the ends justifying the means and all that. (Think King Saul doing most -- but not all -- of what he was commanded to do. He was genuinely surprised at his rejection.)

I can recount from my own life -- but won't -- the number of times I've created a big mess because I "cut corners" for an expedient resolution to something.

But the fruit looks so pleasing to the eye sometimes...
