We know that if we embrace our ideals, we must prove worthy of them. And that scares the hell out of us.
We get ourselves in trouble because it's a cheap way to get attention. Trouble is a faux form of fame. It's easier to get busted in the bedroom with the faculty chairman's wife than it is to finish th...
