Is doing the right thing always a good thing?
No it’s not, but that is because you are constrained by a set of rules that you find to be ethical and moral when you do the ‘right thing’.Other people around you that are not doing the ‘right thing’ are not restricted by such ethics and will in these circumstances always win in the short term. That’s because they see the chance to do the wrong thing as a type of gamble and if it’s worth it they will take it.This is why crime pays, as does stabbing colleagues in the back to get a promotion or sleeping with someone’s wife etc.The list of unethical and immoral behaviour is endless and a permanent part of the human condition, but immoral behaviour always pays a dividend in the short term otherwise people wouldn’t do it.Whilst it is satisfying to see these ‘bad people’ upended when they lose occasionally lose at the ‘right thing/wrong thing’ game such as the cheater beaten up by an angry husband or the petty thief that is unexpectedly caught by their boss or the office sociopath that is revealed to be the cause of the company’s problems (and not Jim form accounting as previously thought) and sacked, this doesn’t happen very often which is why it’s a gamble that’s worth taking for these types of people that get a rush out of doing the wrong thing.It takes great self discipline to do the right thing and avoid these temptations, which is why the rewards of being good are largely spiritual or mental, i.e. the peace of mind you get when you don’t have to look over your shoulder to see who is coming for you next.
Is abortion the right thing to do? Opinions please!?
Okay so here is the situation I am in. Me and my boyfriend have an amazing relationship, very well connected and hope to have a long future. But I took two pregnancy tests and they both were positive, we would be extremely happy but it came at such a bad timing. We are not ready to be parents and we are NOT financially stable to support a child. We want children but in the future, we are still trying to get a career developed. I personally cringe at the thought of getting rid of my unborn child, so I'm so confused as to what to do. He's trying to get more hours at where he works now to get more money to support us but he's also in college so he can only work so many hours before its time to do homework. My mom does know and shes kind of hinting towards abortion because we haven't really talked about anything else. I really don't know what to do, please give me your opinions , I really need guidance.
If I am not doing the wrong thing does that mean I am doing the right thing?
The answer to this is your conscience!If your conscience stops you from doing something, don't do it and vice versa. As per your question it can be seen that you are questioning your conscience which maybe mainly because you are confused. Every person is different and therefore, his/her views also differ. Being that said, you do not have do with opinion of someone else even if it does not fit into your principles. If you go with the conscience, later on when you look back, it would never feel that you were wrong because you know, it was the acceptable thing for you at that moment. Whenever you feel confused whether something is right or wrong, see what your conscience has to say. It would never give you the guilt feeling if you go with it. Hope this helps:)
Is there something called the right time to do something?
Yes! There is a right time for everything.Right time to sleep.Right time to wake up.Right time to have your breakfast and other daily routines.Now, you may or may not find this boring. But it is important to have these simple things done on their right time. For example you must sleep at right time (latest by 9:30 pm) the melatonin release is maximum during 11:00 pm to 1:00 am. It helps in maintaining a balance in your bodily functions.There is a right time to apologise or forgive. If you have committed any mistake or somebody did wrong to you. You must ask for forgiveness or forgive them. The right time for this is Right Now.Right Now, is the right time to make up your mind, focus it. Right Now is the time you make a plan of action for your career.There is a right time to let things go or to keep holding them with a belief that right time will come when things will get alright.To find your right time, you must analyse your current circumstance, your actions and their consequences. You must be empathetic, sympathetic and forgiving to find your right time.There is a right time to raise your voice. See anything happening bad around you; a guy passed lewd comment on a passing girl. That is the right time to raise your voice.Right now is the right time to have peace within yourself.~Ram
How do you deal with unsupportive negative family members?
do what is right for you and your life i myself have the same sort of family members and made a decision to cut them out of my life for my own good and i can honestly say that i have never been happier as a person. i no longer have to deal with their negative attitude and bitterness, i did not realise how depressed and how their negativity was affecting me until i stopped all contact with them. people who make try to make you feel bad are usually failing somewhere in their own life and every time they see that you are making a positive step, no matter how small they will try to bring you down and what is sadder still these people are your own family i dont know if cutting her off will be the right decision for you, but it was the best one for me
How are students in professional schools support themselves financially?
After reading your question, I have to say that I truly admire you and to an extent feel ashamed of the petty things that I usually complain about. I'm also in medical school, but thankfully I have my parents helping me out and I honestly can't imagine being in such a tight financial situation and still having to cope with the stress and work load of medical school. Just like the other answers say, I would say try to keep to a very strict budget. Don't spend money on unnecessary items and if you have an organisation that provides free meals then try and see if you can go there. Churches and charity organisations usually do this, try and look around your area and see what you can find. The most important things after paying your tuition fees are food and shelter. Just remember that things will not always be like this. You will graduate medical school by the grace of God and will be in a much better situation. I would have advised you to take on a part time job, but being as I know that there's absolutely no time for that in medical school (what with always falling behind on work even with all the hard work we put in) I guess that's not an option. But there might be something that you can do in your university that would not take you away from school work. For example, ask with the school office if they're looking for someone to do some filing or to work in the library. The good thing about the library is that you can study while you're working. All in all, please don't give up. You are an inspiration.
