Prices, steep hills, and the right thing

The right thing to do. This is a picture which varies from person to person. If you put two people in the exact same scenario, and they both try and do the same thing, you will notice that they dont both do the same thing. It varies from person to person depending on the person's perspective and how the measure rightness.
Some poeple don't even try to do good and are just content with doing bad but for the most part, humans try and do the right thing depending on how they see it. It is not always an easy thing to do though. The wrong choice always seems easier than the right one. That is mainly because the right choice usually has a price at face value whereas the wrong thing seems inviting but can lead to more trouble along the way. Let me elaborate.
If you are in a situation where you have a friend who invited you to a party and you wanted to invite another friend but the first friend said no and that if you bring your second friend you wouldn't be the friend of the person anymore, there is both a right choice and a wrong choice.  The right choice in my perspective would be to stay with the second friend because if the first friend treats other people like that, are they really a good friend?
You may lose your first friend and that is a hard thing to do but you make a friend in the other person. If you had gone to the party to appease the first friend, what do you think would have happened? You would probablly lose the second friend becuase you left them behind and sooner or later the first friend would probably put you in the same situation again.
This way you keep paying high prices for the friendship of the first friend and soon the price will be too high to pay. Which one would you chose?
