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.
