What Freedom!

“It’s just right to do right,” says my mother. My dad often quotes his mother as saying “Do right and right will follow you.” “What kind of circular, redundancy is that?” is what I use to think. Now, of course, I know that when I do the right thing, I never have to apologize, rethink, take back, or fix anything. I just thoughtlessly go through life as if all is right with the world. And that’s because it is. What freedom! Okay, what if I don’t do the right thing? Well, I did a foolish thing. But if forgive myself and give myself permission to make a mistake (okay many mistakes), I can still thoughtlessly go through the world as if all if right. And that’s because it is. What freedom!
