Life Lesson: Doing the Right Thing

I've been wondering lately what exactly it means to do the right thing. What is the right thing? -- is it relative to each person? -- maybe -- is it predictable? -- likely not -- can we say for sure that doing this one thing is THE right thing? -- no, I don't think we can.

There are too many variables to consider. Too many different "maps" or perceptions of the world. What is right and what is wrong. Who is right and who is wrong. There are obvious clear and distinct lines where one can say what is black and what is white. 

Have you faced a question in your life where all solutions were equally viable, equally good or equally bad? How did you choose from among them? Then add in a deadline. You must make an important decision, one that could effect the rest of your life, based on very little information in a short amount of time. What did you do? Did you make a decision knowing that it was exactly the right answer or did you almost do the age old "eenie meenie miney moe?" 

There are multiple rights and there are multiple wrongs it all depends on your point of view I think. The best advice I can give is follow your heart. Follow your heart and commit to that decision because when you commit, you can make anything happen.
