Doing The Right Thing

Everyone of us would want to believe that we are doing the right thing.

As the saying goes, “All roads that lead to hell is paved with gold”.

Even when we see someone doing the wrong thing, that individual actually believes that the right thing is being done.

How about when we know what is the right thing to do but do not have the strength to do it?

The right thing to do is never easy.

It is usually the most difficult thing that we have to do.

All around us, the right thing, the right decision, is usually ignored and is not done.

How many times that we have bitched or complained that someone did not do the right thing?

It could be work or it could be personal.

At work it is easier to just follow orders than to stand up to management when a wrong decision is made.

It is easier to just keep a low profile than to voice out against any injustice, for fear of being blacklisted.

Is that how we want to live our lives?

Is that how we want to be remembered?

How about our personal lives?

Do we look away coldly when someone is in trouble?

Do we offer a hand of assistance to those in need?

Do we laugh at other’s misfortune?

The usual reason given is that we are not strong enough.

If everyone believes that they are not strong enough the world will be in chaos. (Not that its any better right now.)

Go on…. Do it! Just do it!

Take a stand. Do what is right.

Its never going to be easy, but trust me….. you will feel better about yourself.

Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow…. but 1 day, you will look back and smile to yourself, knowing that you did what needs to be done.
