Would you rather do what is right or what is necessary?

This is a subjective argument to have and I have found it interesting to talk about

This is so because if we go by the norms of what is obtainable in various climes today, many people are more inclined to do what they believe is necessary than what is supposedly right


And this can easily be seen as coming from the angle of survival, sustenance, or greed


Looking out for oneself in every way can make it easy for one to always be tilted towards doing what they believe to be necessary rather than what is right


What is right might not always give the result that one is looking for and thus will easily be giving the back bench where necessity calls


To further give this a pictorial illustration, imagine the situation of war


War as we might be inclined to think is not a good thing and this is not right, because during wars people are killed and properties destroyed


This in itself is what anyone in their right senses will think, however, this doesn't stop wars from happening


Whether it is right or not when a people or nation feels threatened or attacked by another nation, they will immediately deem it necessary to protect themselves and their territories and thus they will swing into war


At this point it will no longer be a case of whether ar is the right thing to do or not, but rather if it is the necessary thing to do. Because if they don't show strength by going to war they will be inadvertently destroyed by the aggressor.


So in such a situation hanging on to what is right will not be the best solution but rather doing what is necessary to survive.


On the other hand 


For something to be right, it has to have a moral connotation to it, this is what sets it apart and makes a worthwhile acceptable condition.


Thus, it goes without saying that for someone without any moral background or respect for morality, doing something just because it's right will be a waste of time and out of character for them.


Thank you for stopping by.

Overcoming Procrastination

Today, I am tackling a topic that I know hits home for a lot of us— overcoming procrastination . You know that feeling, right? When you’ve got a deadline looming, a dream you’re chasing, or even just a sink full of dishes, but somehow you’re scrolling through your phone or reorganizing your sock drawer instead? Yeah, we’ve all been there. I’m going to dive deep into why we procrastinate, how it’s tied to our past experiences, and—most importantly—how we can start breaking free from it. Hopefully, it resonates with you. So, let’s break it down and get into it. What’s Really Behind Procrastination? Procrastination isn’t just about being “lazy” or “unmotivated.” I used to think it was, but the more I’ve reflected on it, the more I’ve realized it’s deeper than that. Depending on the experiences we’ve gone through, our relationship with taking action—or avoiding it—gets shaped in unique ways. It’s like our tolerance for risk, failure, or even success adjusts based on what life’s thrown at u...

Tailor Your Skills and Gifts to Your Life's Desires

  In the journey of life, we each possess unique skills and gifts that set us apart. These talents are intrinsic to who we are, shaping our potential and guiding our paths. My suggestion that you should Tailor your skills and gifts to what you want for your life. You don't need to justify it, they are already yours, to begin with, was me trying to capture the essence of embracing and aligning our abilities with our aspirations.  I was looking to shed light on the importance of this alignment and why you should never feel the need to justify your talents to anyone. First and foremost, it's essential to recognize that your skills and gifts are inherently yours. They are part of your identity, woven into the fabric of your being. These abilities were not borrowed or taken from someone else; they are a natural extension of who you are. Therefore, you have every right to use them in a way that aligns with your vision for your life. When you tailor your skills and gifts to your pers...

Moderation is Overrated: Relentlessly Pursue Your Goals

In a world where balance and moderation are often heralded as keys to a successful and fulfilling life, it's time to challenge the status quo. While moderation has its merits, it can also be a hindrance, especially when it comes to achieving significant goals.  The concept of "moderation is overrated" argues that for certain ambitions, half-measures and balanced approaches can prevent you from reaching your full potential.  That is why I maintained that sometimes, going all in is the only way to achieve the extraordinary. Let's break it down more. The Myth of Balance Balance is a comforting idea. It suggests that by spreading our efforts and attention evenly across various aspects of life, we can achieve harmony and success.  However, this approach can dilute our focus and energy, making it difficult to excel in any one area. For those with ambitious goals, whether in career, fitness, art, or any other field, balance can be more of a barrier than a boon. The Power of ...
