Hmm...01/25/05
A question was recently posed to me that went a little like this...
Is it wrong to want to better yourself (to try to become a better person) with the wrong motives? For example...say you're a compulsive shopper, but instead of trying to stop your habit to gain financial control of your own life, you try to control your habit because you know the opposite sex of your choosing would never date/marry/elope/whatever anyone who was not financially wise. Okay, bad example, but the principles are still the same.
So...is it wrong? Technically, you are still trying to make yourself better. The jury is still out in my opinion.
Lemme know what you think!
