No one is saying you have to be a saint. Just try not to be a sellout. Try not to be “dyed purple,” as Marcus Aurelius reminded himself, speaking of the emperor’s cloak and the way the job seemed to change the people who wore it. Try to honor your code, your commitments, your conscience. Beware of the gray areas. Beware of the false promise of “just this one time.” Try to avoid temptations, try to ignore what other people around you are doing. Try to be at least cleaner than average. Cleaner than the people who came before us. Cleaner than we were yesterday.
