The eXtra length

If you needed going the extra length to get something you badly want, would you consider murder?

I am watching a very highly rated crime investigation series, and today's about a homicide investigation of a young teenage mother, whose body was found in the bonnet of a car in a dumpsite or somewhere like that. She was pregnant when she died, but her baby was not found. In the end of the investigation, the viewers are told that the dead girl was actually banished from her family home due to the out of wedlock and got herself a into a deal that might secure her baby's future, and that later, she changed her mind and wanted to keep her baby, instead of giving it up to a childless couple. She, heavily pregnant then, accidentally died when struggling with the couple during a confrontation, falling down from the stairs. The terrified but desperate husband saved the baby and dumped her body, the only way out, or so they thought.

This made me wonder, would I go the extra mile of resorting to murder to get what I badly want? Have I so far wanted something so badly that I killed for it? I could safely answer no to this but in a future where everything seems more grey than black and white, I really cannot be sure. Although I hope that I would need to resort to that, accidental or not.

Pray to the manifestation of self-control for a better life, better mind.
