  • There have been circumstances where doing the right thing was 'bad'. EXAMPLE(S): Using 'tough Love' Approach to deal with the drug using neice, denying her money, denying her a place to sleep, not picking her up when she calls at 4 am in the morning crying that her latest BF is in jail for possession and she is stuck out in the boonies. It's hard at times to say no, however if I did not say no and did do these things for her she would be in more harm because she would think doing drugs is ok, and that I will bail her out of any trouble. Its hard. Makes on hurt sometimes to do the right thing.
  • If you make the other party happy, doing the right thing is always enjoyable. If they don't understand, explain to them. If doing the right time means restrictions to them, explain. If they are still not happy, see if you can be a bit more flexible. Never make other people suffer in the name of "doing the right thing", with the purpose to "teach them a lesson". That is evil.
  • i once got a phone call from a friend, telling me she had taken some pills and would never see me again, hung up, and didn't answer her cell after that...she had taken me to a private little spot in the woods once, and i had a feeling that was where she was at...i was right...it was a couple miles or so from the road, and she was pretty uncooperative, physically and psychologically, by the time i got there (i was 45 miles away when she called)...well, it was a long struggle, carrying her most of the way while she was fighting and screaming and grabbing hold, the best she could, of whatever tree branch or trunk she could reach...finally got her to the closest hospital...after the staff said there was nothing more i could do, i went home... the next day i stopped in to see her... she was pissed...i felt horrible... i realized right then and there that no matter what i think is right, someone else thinks about it in a different light, and vice-versa...
  • I always do and always will feel bad for that reason.
