PrepTest 93+, Section 2, Question 21
Essayist: Commitment to relationships or careers is commonly held to be virtuous. But all commitments should be seen as morally neutral. After all, what one is committed to might be either good or bad; for example, commitment to a relationship that benefits none of the people involved deserves no praise. Often, commitment is nothing more than involvement that has outlasted its original justification.
