   What's this business of selling out, anyway?  That may depend on the viewer.   
   To me, it would seem, this is the point when one abandons their own morals   
   for material gain.   
      
   Wrong?  Depends on who you ask.  Who am I to judge them?  Hey, if they're   
   happy with their life, more power to them.  Perhaps if more people were   
   happy with their lives we wouldn't be so concerned with how others choose to   
   live them.   
      
   Live your life the way you want to.  It's yours to do with it as you will.   
   If someone else has a problem with it - and someone always will - listen   
   politely, take what you want from the conversation, and dismiss them if   
   necessary.  You're ultimately answerable to yourself.   
      
   What I'm saying, really, is that you don't owe us any explanations, but if   
   you feel it necessary...well, that's your choice.
