We were told

We were once told that the evil is our enemy and we must destroy it by whatever means,
but on the other hand we were told to tolerate evil to save our ass from trouble.
We were once told that we have the freedom to do whatever we want
but on the other hand we are told to obey the laws and restrictions.
We were once told that working hard is the only formula for success
but on the other hand we were told that working smart is more important.
We were once told that justice is an important element to keep the world in order.
but on the other hand we were told that justice does not, and will never exist.
We were once told that money is not everything
but on the other hand, we were told that we are nothing without money.
