Doing the Right Thing

It doesn't take much to do the right thing. The critical component of the "right thing" is realizing there is a living and breathing person on the receiving end of words or actions. When we, as a purportedly civilized society, decide that the "right thing" is selfishly what's right for "number 1" without regard for all the other "numbers" in the population, we lose another kernel of civility and draw closer to the abyss of ruination. Notice how convenient and conspicuous the word "nation" becomes the tail and "ruin" becomes the "head".
Draw your conclusions but don't draw the emotional or intellectual blinds. You may miss a golden opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to reversing the slide that seems to be gaining precipitous momentum. - Nikki DiCaro
