“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

-Wilford Woodruff

People do what is wrong for many different reasons, but the most common one is because you gained knowledge from those mistakes. The truth is you don’t gained knowledge because if you choose the wrong you already know you are choosing the wrong and where’s the knowledge in that. Now if you decide to choose the right you do know that is right, but you gain so much more than that.  For example, you don’t know what will come from choosing the right, but you know that it’s good. You will gain something out of it unlike choosing the wrong. An example can be, let’s say that this group of people decide to go to a party and do illegal things. They already know that if they get caught they will be sent to jail, maybe only for a little well depending on what they did, but they do expect this to happen if they get caught. At the end they do got caught and they say, “Oh next time I wouldn’t do this because I know I can go to jail. Lesson learned.” This isn’t gained knowledge because they already knew this could happen yet they still did it. There wasn’t anything gained from this experience, it just proved what you already knew. My question is why do people have to experience things in order for them to understand, it shouldn’t be like that. If you want to gained something then do what is right!
