One of the hardest things to choose between is what’s right and what’s easy.
The human mind is inclined to do what is easiest in a situation, especially in the current society. Take for example researching. Everyone’s favorite search engine – Google – is now the way everyone gets information. Back in the day, people used to take the time to look through an encyclopedia or journal to find information. However, this can’t be helped, as technology makes our society more advanced and yet more lazy at the same time. That though, is a topic for another post.
The decision between what’s right and what’s easy shows true character in a person. Say for example that you were a manager at a company and a co-worker came up to you, complaining that someone else was not completing his/her job. Would you do what’s easy and go up to the accused, firing them on the spot? Or would you do what’s right and talk to him/her, finding out what the other side of the story is before thinking over the situation and then deciding on an action to take?
That’s a scenario in the future for most readers of this blog though, so here’s a more relatable example. Say two of your friends got in a fight and you were stuck in the middle. Would you take the easy way out and choose a side/ignore them, or would you do the right thing and try to play the peacemaker in order to work out their arguments?
Whatever the circumstances may be, doing what’s right and what’s easy is a choice people will have to make many times in their lives. The question that remains is, what will you do when the time comes, take the simple road or the winding path?
