NEGATIVE PLUS NEGATIVE EQUALS MORE NEGATIVE. A wrong behavior can never be right if your way of correcting it is by doing another wrong action.

" -1 + - 1 = -2 "

A negative action plus another negative action can never make both actions positive. The negativity of both behavior can never offset each other thus obtaining a positive result can be a bit impossible.

A good example is in a school scenario. Assuming you are a student. You don't attend classes, you are just outside school premises drinking or loitering so you are always absent and you are only present during exams. You might be thinking that when you get top scores in your exams, you will still pass your subjects. So you would result to cheating, another wrong action. Do you think your cutting classes and your cheating will save you? My answer would be a big no. In the long run, it is you who will suffer. You may get away from it now but in the long run, you'll have to suffer its consequences. It i suppose to be your duty to attend school and learn yet you are doing the reverse. The effect of those actions in your future is really bad. How can you find a good job when you know nothing, obviously no one will be willing to hire someone incompetent like you. You see the pay off in the future is huge. That scenario can already change your life. How about those who are doing something wrong so they could save themselves. Will that be an exemption? I think not. If you are in poverty and you would want to elevate yourself to save your family from hunger, never result to doing crimes. You might think that it is alright to do bad since it is for a good cause. You can never really say that it will justify your action. There are different ways to help yourselves. You can look for a job. You can work hard. And trust me, if you are working hard, the money you earned will be very precious. Another good example is killing somebody whom you consider as bad. You might think that a way to end a crime is to commit another crime. You are wrong again. That is why we have laws that govern our lands. No one has the right to take the life out of someone whatever his/her reasons are. We should all learn to value and preserve life. It is the most important gift God has given us.

You can never expect something good out of something bad. Doing something wrong and doing it twice or even doing it almost all the time can never justify it, nor can it make it right. That is not the law of nature, and much more that is not the law of God. If you are going to do good then you can expect to gain something good. If you are doing bad/wrong, then expect something negative out of what you have been doing. I mean, why would you expect to earn something good out of that which is something bad/wrong? A bad seed will always bear bad fruit. And you can expect good fruits from a good seed. The logic in both can be quiet similar.
