I was recently asked a rather strange question. Now, make no mistake, this question will seem completely ordinary to the vast majority of the populace, but it always strikes me as odd and illogical. Here was the question:
"What should I do?"
All I could answer with was something along the lines of 'do whatever makes you comfortable looking in the mirror in the morning.'
Then I got hit with another odd question:
"What do you mean?"
I answered with something along the lines of 'you have to think with your own mind and feel with your own heart.'
Like clockwork, again came the second question:
"What do you mean?"
I decided to elaborate a bit this time. If for any reason, probably to keep from getting asked the same question again for the 4th time. It went something like this…
There are no gray areas in life, No, not one gray area. There is simply right and wrong, good and evil. You have to learn to distinguish between right and wrong before you can ever make proper decisions. Everything in life is a choice and there is always a good and bad choice. Some good choices on the surface appear to do the most harm, but they really don't. The truth never, ever hurts as bad as a lie. Likewise, some of the worst choices appear as the least likely to do harm. Don't be fooled by this. Not me, nor anyone else, can teach you to see which choice is which. The only advice I can give is to do whatever makes others around you feel good, and more importantly, feel good about themselves. With each decision ask yourself a simple question: "Which decision will bring the most joy to those around me, and least importantly – to myself?"
When you've learned to live for others then you've finally figured out how to live for yourself.
