I like the way you portrayed that people often believe they know their limits, but tough situations can push them to act differently. We really can't say we have integrity until we have pushed to the wall or we are being threatened.

Another thing is that when survival is at stake, values can shift. It takes strong discipline and love to stay true to oneself. It is not always easy, particularly when you have family and loved ones going through pain and you are being confronted with temptation like this.
