Do the Right thing....
The right thing is the right thing . Not the seemingly right thing, not the wrong right thing. There is no amendment to the right thing, it is simply the right thing. I have to give it to Bez and Cobhams, the duo who released a song based on this title. Often times as humans we have devised ways to justify dastardly acts. We always have a good reason to do the wrong things. Everyone of us have a tiny voice of reasoning ‘the conscience’ who is the earthly judge of things, somebody might say who decides whether something is right/wrong. The conscience does.
The world and the society has not even helped matters, it usually seems easier to do evil and more stressful to do good. How then will people stick to doing good against all odds? Will doing right ever gain grounds? Some people's conscience no longer lives or maybe they have just grown so hardened such that they no longer relate with the voice of reasoning.
When will we learn to act well, agree to do right even when or if it isn’t convenient? Why do we have so much bitterness, unhealthy ego and hard heartedness in the world suffocating love, doing right and peaceful living?
I know that through determination, strong will and grace, every human being can take the risk, go the extra mile to always do that which is right.
"Do the right thing, do the right thing
Do it all the time, do it all the time
Make yourself right, never mind them
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering"
