Doing The Right Thing

We have been drilled since young to do the right thing. Doing the right thing can either be easy or hard, depending on the situation. Sometimes, NOT doing the right thing is easy that people do not bother at all and just leave it at that, hoping that everything will work out fine in the end. In other words, doing the right thing is the hardest thing a person can ever do! It takes courage and conviction to do the right thing.


Sometimes I do wonder, what does it mean by 'doing the right thing?'. Do we do it simply because its expected of us, or just because its our duty or its the done thing or simply because you have to conform to society's rule?? However, it has to be said, that by doing the right thing, you do feel great and think that you have done something worthy or even noble. Most importantly, you can sleep at night, conscience clear of any blame or guilt.



Doing the right thing depends on our perspectives and values at the end of the day. If you do the right thing because it feels right and you do it without any pressure or coercion, then you should feel extremely proud. However, doing the right thing is not so straight forward as it seems especially if there are other factors involved. You have to weigh all the variables and come up with an answer that you are happy with. At times, you may not be entirely happy with the decision you make but had to, simply because its the right thing to do! Have you ever done something which was the right decision at that time and now regretted since??



At the end of the day, you have to do what is right for you. Life is short - live your best life!
