The Right Kind of Wrongs

Why is it - that Life seems to test just us ordinary people...
It happens everyday. Don't you think?


Someone asks you to tell a little lie. No harm done, right? 
You'll tell it.
Something gives you a chance to make that extra buck without anyone finding out. Hey, it's not like you're taking it from someone else's pocket, hmmm? 
You make the extra buck. 


You find yourself in a spot where only cheating someone can make it better for you. 
You'll cheat right away, no one will ever know, right?


The human mind in so complicated and so simple. We can easily convince our self that something wrong is right. 
The right kinda wrong - and all the other nice ways to say it... we can bring all the logic, we can do all the mathematics, we can find all the right reasons, and we can get so used to it - get so used to killing our conscious. 
We evolve into a person who can justify absolutely any wrong done - because it works for us, for our life, our goals, our dreams.


But if you think about it - and no, you don't need to admit this to anyone - but admit it to your self - and it will change you. 


Anything wrong you do, no matter how small, no matter how hidden - cuts out a little bit of the child in you, kills a little bit of kindness in you, hardens a little bit of the heart in you. And at the end of it all, you will have taken all the shortcuts, told all the lies, gotten all the gains. But will you like who you become along the way? Will you not miss the innocence that only a truth can bring, the sweetness only earning something can bring, the satisfaction only doing the right thing can give you?


It makes no difference to me, or my life in the long run... but the little things you will do - will make the biggest difference in your Life and who You eventually become.


It's never too late to change your mind, or your heart.
Do it while you can still feel.
