If
anybody should say doing the right thing is easy is telling a lie. The moment
you choose to do what is good and right, everything in you and around you will
rise against you for doing the right thing. This is because of the human
nature; our body, senses, and our will desire carnal pleasures. For instance,
the body wants sleep when you should be awake to do something important.
For some
people, they desire sexual pleasure even though they know the person and the
time are wrong. The urge for tobacco, alcohol, hard drugs etc are from one’s
appetite in doing the wrong thing. So, whoever will do what is right must fight
two major enemies: INTERNAL and EXTERNAL enemies. Always remember
that man is the greatest enemy of himself. If you can conquer ‘self’, no power will be able to conquer
you. The enemies within such as, impure thought, wrong imagination, anger,
selfishness and many other evil things running through the heart of man.
The EXTERNAL
enemies are people’s comments, people’s opinion, societal and family pressures etc.
No matter how difficult doing the right is; it should be done and must be done in order prepare a better future
for us and our children to come.
The
right things are not hidden from us; they are written in our heart. As long as
you are born and grown up, you already know the dos and don’ts of how man should
live perfectly doing what is right. No one can be justified on the basis of
ignorance.
Do not
always look for easy things. What you should go for should be the best. Never
settle for the less. Do not always consider the easiest way out as the best.
Doing the right thing pays, though, it may appear tough and difficult initially
but you will laugh in the end. People may not understand you many may mock you
and laugh at you but you will laugh last. You will be happy for the rest of
your life.
