14Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14

We are all given choices in life. We are too quick to complain about our particular situations, our place in life. But we are responsible for our decisions. What we do with our time, where we go, who our friends are. If you go back over a particular rough period of life, then you will see that there usually was a way, to avoid it, or to escape that path you took. That happened to me a long time ago, I started being friendly with a girl who was not a Christian. It seemed like such a minor thing. But that was a wrong choice I made, and to this day it has had a lasting effect on me. When the first battle is lost, things get bad.
