Doing the right thing

The most important thing in life is to do the right thing.
That means all the time, not sometimes, not when you feel like it. And not when it's easy.
The right thing is seldom easy.

I'm telling you, in order to remind me.
A few of the trials you're own superman here is going through are testing the limits of doing the right thing.
I've been getting no thanks, no appreciation. In fact on 2 occasions I actually managed to upset someone by helping them out. All part of the trials of life I guess.

So I look at the ring. The superman ring I wear. It's not about being a fan (although I am). It's about remembering to make the right choices, doing the right thing. And not letting people down.

So that's what I'm going to keep doing.

But there are some tough choices, and like a lot of people in life. I need to make a choice. And both choices will cause a problem for someone.

A friend of mine has started seeing someone too young for him. Well technically I think she's too young to be seeing anyone.......... but moving on.

His girlfriend obviously doesn't know. Oh and did I mention she's a friend of mine?

So where's the option here....... I can't betray either one of them. I can't lie to anyone. I can't keep seeing them both and just not say anything.
I think the choice is to stay out of it. And if asked anything, always tell the truth.

Or maybe there isnt a friend. Maybe there isnt a girl.
Maybe I need to say something I can't.
Anonymously, secretly, unread. I still can't confess.

I'll remain only a guest.

Tough situation there. I can't offer any solutions. All I can say is that "doing the right thing" can really only be "doing the right thing for you". You can only know what's best for you and do what you think is right. So try not and muddy the situation (just in case you are) by trying to figure out what other people would do in your situation or what society would deem to be the "right choice" or whatever. Having said that, if you friend is cheating on his girlfriend with a much younger girl, I think the girlfriend deserves to know. But that's only what I'd do.

Ahh tell me about it.
It's difficult at times not to consider doing the right thing, or what other people would consider is right.
