"The time is always right to do what is right." - Martin Luther King Jr.
Right. What is right exactly? What separates us from righteous, and evil? Is it doing good most of your life? Being honest, generous? Who are we to say so? What makes things right, the heart, or the head? Many people have different views in life about what is right or wrong. Someone pokes you. Do you poke them back, or ignore them? What is the "right" thing to do?
Being honest is one. When you tell the truth you have more trust, more people loyal, believing in you. Generous, knowing when to give, knowing when to share, loving only the feeling of happiness in your heart. Being fair, not taking advantage of others. But most of all, I think that perseverance is a key virtue.
Perseverance the act of persisting, persistent determination, in other words, never giving up. Although many people think that perseverance is a key quality, many others do not. Everybody has a dream. Not everyone can follow it though. "You must do the thing you think you cannot do." - Eleanor Roosevelt. Has anyone ever said to you, "Give it a rest!" Did you do that? Would you give up?
A word is a word. It definitely can hurt. But what about giving up? It hurts more, seeing a dream smashed up, your words in the middle of it all. Doubting something is the first step to giving up. Wouldn't you want to be a hard-working person, so committed that people can trust you with almost anything? Perseverance can improve you finish, or go on, with many endeavors. Many people give up, and they don't risk the chance. How could you finish, learn, find out? You can't. Vince Lombardi once said, " It's not whether you fall down, it's whether you get up."
Many things are right, yet many things are also wrong. Doing the right thing means lending a hand, telling the truth, being fair, persevering. Right, just means in doing what you believe is right, what others believe is right. Although the world won't ever have everybody doing the right thing all the time, you can. At least, most of the time.
