“Wherever a person can live, there one can also live well; life is also in the demands of court, there too one can live well.”
- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 5.16

Growing up in a small town or large city is no excuse for our bad behavior. A justification such as "everyone else is doing it" or "it works for them" reminds us that two wrongs don't make a right.
Conclusion
We need to adhere to virtue. We need to remain empathetic. We need to live our lives well regardless of our coworkers, neighbors, friends, and or family.
