Duty or Friendship?

   This is a very common thing that happens with people in life. People have to make choices, choices they don't want to make, but choices that they have to. It is normally between two very hard to decide things, Friends or Family? Friends or Lovers? Family or Lovers? Job or Lovers? All these questions are very common in many people's lives. I think, betraying a duty is worse than betraying a friend. Call me a bad person, call me a bad friend, but I am a very selfish person. When there is a position for me to go higher up in my company, to the job that I have always dreamed of having, I would abandon my friend and go higher up into my career. I think one's success comes from the cruelty and the harshness in the person. No successful company was built on being nice and fair to each other, no successful company was built on respecting other competitions and not breaking any rules. When it comes to work, people would do all they can to screw other people over. This would be a hard and terrible decision for me. I know that I should not cheat and betray my friend, but i know that by not accomplishing a duty could ruin and trash my reputation. How i see it is that when someone assigns a duty to me, I would NEED to complete it. A duty is a promise, and breaking a promise would hurt people's trust in me. I would indeed go betray a friend before I betray a duty. Although this is a hard choice, a duty is a duty, Friends can be made later on in life, but I need to fulfill my promise and duty.
