Where's the Exit for "Moral High Road"?

It seems that life is a choice between your soul, and yourself. We've all heard the phrase "Taking the moral high road", meaning, we take the harder, but more decent, choice. But it's occurred to me... Most of the time, that choice isn't as clear and blatant as it's believed to be. There's a reason it's the "hard choice". Usually, you have to decide: Do you want to be kind, or do you want dignity. Do you want to be the nice guy, or do you want to take the cake? Well, the fact is, you can't ever do both.. you can't only have a slice of cake, and still be a nice person. Every time, you have to choose. Every time, you have to decide.. does honesty really mean that much to me? Do I really need any of this more than that guy over there?

And the thing that scares me? I don't think I'll ever be able to choose myself.
