You can only vote on one answer.
There are only two kinds of people in this world.

People will do what they are told, no matter what they are told and then there are the other kinf that will do what is right, no what they are told!

So my friends, what kind of person are you?

I'm a hybrid of 1 and 2 and sometimes the doing what is not seen as right without being told.

There is no such thing as all of one and no shades of the other.

The thing with 'doing the right thing' is people do what they feel is the right thing....and thats not always the way others see 'the right thing'.
Do we do whats right for us ourselves, or those around us? Do we put the needs of others above our own.
Do we make decisions for the good of others coz we feel its the right thing ..... or let them go ahead and do things we feel are the wrong thing?

I have a whole lot of these decisions going on in life right now...its feckin' hard, believe me.

I do my best to do what I stand for as right, even (as frequently) against the (or some) mainstream.
But as most of the wrong (as the right) haves a social nature (prejudices, injustice, oppression) I don´t hold the fantasy that doing right individually (though needed) may be enough.
So I also listen the view of others about and sometimes I learn.

This makes me think of the book How good people make tough choices by Kidder

Because it raises the question or what is "good" and the "right choice"....its not cut and dry all the time.

@Eurydicekallos exactly.

@RubySoo its a very good book if havent read it. Helped me some to break out of the mold i was raised into and be able to think more for myself and the person i want to be but also comforting in a way because the hard choices everyone struggles with.

There are no people of either type - we are all in between… and yes, you are a shade of gray too.

The danger with what you think is right is that it may not be the full picture . That is when obedience is better than than our version of right . Bible says you know obedience is better than sacrifice.

Yeah I have a job with stakes that affect peoples health so I can comfortably say it's BS to operate on that framework. It's a gross oversimplification of the complicated moral grounds and framework I'd find myself in on a day-to-day basis.

Say for example I get a surgery consult cancelled for supporting a funeral. Or I assist in building a broken system that is worse but more secure then whats in place. The consequences are indescribably impactful and so unrecognized but yet I move. And I get told to do these things.

I try to do what is right, and it has not been rare for me to go against what others thought. I might have been wrong occasionally, but I was right most of the time.

It's hard because in some situations I will do as I'm told like at work. But if it really goes against my boundaries and morals then there's problems.

I have lost plenty of jobs because I have refused to do what an employer wanted me to do, for money saving reasons, especially those that could compromised patient safety.

But in my everyday life I do what I want and what I think is right.

As being a grown adult...i do what is right not what someone else tells me 😒

@silkydrawers Sounds like something my hubby would say
And you're so great?
Missbirdie1986 · 36-40, F
I am a good person
gol979 · 41-45, M
If you are a genuine #2 then expect weekly confrontations. In this system and certain situations, doing the right thing is frowned upon by larger society
Wolffy · 56-60, M
None of the above i guess
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
