This week Reena has given us the option to choose. I have chosen this quote;
Quote
Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do, and what is right to do.
Peter Stewart
➰➰➰
We all talk about ethics
We pretend to be the follower
Of what is right, what is correct
But when it comes to the matter of
What suits us, benefits us we often renege
Demanding our rights, irrespective of the fact
That it sometimes will hurt others in the process
Practicing fair-mindedness in all things
Will result in us all enjoying the benefits
Of what’s right and what’s right for us all
➰➰➰

It’s all subjective, and often we will change our opinion in order to fit our narrative.

It is not always easy to do what is right, but when you make that extra effort, you always feel better for it.

Absolutely right Jim. It’s not always easy or convenient to do it but we should.

The issue is we see so many people succeed by relinquishing ethics. So, there is a small voice which says, “Maybe I’m being a fool. Maybe it works better their way..”

In this war between the right and wrong, there are always doubts.

You’re welcome a bunch!! 🙂 The topic, and your words were so interesting because of the timing…I’ve spent the whole week trying to figure out if I had any rights, and/or what is the right thing to do/say in a specific conflicted situation. I concluded that I do have a right to my feelings–but it matters how I express them (in a right way); and I also gleaned some wisdom: in a conflict it’s best to take plenty of time before speaking, or taking any action…there’s no rush if it’s not a life/death matter. So your post was rather affirming, and a help to me. That’s what I love about blogging–the connections we may make that are not in the least superficial. Our “comments” and posts can be so encouraging, nurturing–offering perspective we may be missing when our emotions are all mixed up. So I thank you, Sadje💖
