Better Things?

The question of the dilemma of the modern age is a large and ambiguous question that deserves to be viewed from all facets of life and opinions. I think the dilemma of modern life is whether or not we should choose the ethical or unethical route. It applies in all directions of life. Whether or not you should eat that trans-fat loaded butter replacement called Margarine and perhaps risk your health, or buy the pure butter that has been made from pasteurized milk that came from a free range cow. It all depends, and it can come from recycling too, whether or not you should buy the box that's made from recycled corrugated cardboard or that other box that's made in China with non recyclable materials. That's the modern dilemma we face, ethical or unethical. Unethical will give you a selfish gain, while ethical will help those around you. Environmental issues, etc, all fall under this category.
It's all a matter of altruistic behavior or greedy needs. Greedy needs come from the need for self-sustenance and the most efficient way at staying alive: it seems like most of us has chosen that path when we do not have an ample amount of resources to spare.
