12. Is it ever right to do the wrong thing? Is it ever wrong to do the right thing?

It depends on how far someone is willing to go, and depends on the situation.   It also depends on what the "wrong thing" or "right thing" is.  If it is a life or death situation....then the wrong thing may be the right thing to do in order to survive.

Lose weight.
