我的好妹妹
The Importance of Conscience
伊莱沙·M. 韦伯斯特 / Elisha M. Webster
I was faced with a decision. While delivering laundry into the appropriate bedrooms， I stumbled upon my thirteen-year-old sister' s diary， a modern-day Pandora' s box， suffused with temptation. what was I to do？ I had always been jealous of my little sister. Her charming smile， endearing personality and many talents threatened my place as leading lady. I competed with her tacitly and grew to resent her natural abilities. I felt it necessary to shatter her shadow with achievements of my own. As a result， we seldom spoke. I sought opportunities to criticize her and relished surpassing her acevements. Her diary lay at my feet， and I didn' t think of the result of opening it. I considered not her privacy， the morality of my actions， nor her consequential pain. I merely savored the possibility of digging up enough dirt to soil my competitor' s spotless record. I reasoned my iniquity as sisterly duty. It was my responsibility to keep a check on her activities. It would be wrong of me not to.
