People’s morals and ambitions define their characteristics and what they prioritize in their lives. Individuals are usually driven by their own desires and ambitions, and will do whatever it takes to achieve them. When an individual tries to pursue their own desires but only prioritizes themselves, it can destroy one’s relationships and also harm their morals.
