Do the right things...

Do the right things...

not because you were told to;

not because it makes you look righteous;

not because everyone else is doing it;

not because it makes you feel good;

not because a religious edict demands it;

because they are right.

If you wanted to know if I had a personal credo and what it was, this is it. I'm not saying that I abide by it all the time -- I don't -- but that this is the rule I try to live by. It's something to strive for, even though I fail all the time.

Obviously, what is right is left ambiguous. This is not a credo with easy answers -- it demands that all things shall be considered carefully.
