The right thing- what is this so- so elusive thing we call, "the right thing"
is it doing whats best for you?
is it doing whats best for others?
whats best for greatest amount of people?
is it doing- or rather, is it giving, watching, learning, inspiring, hurting, suffering…
is it what brings a tear to your eye and a smile to your heart?
is it doing something that no matter how much the person may dispose you for it or the amount of people who want you away, dead, out of their lives think, knowing - hoping and praying - that what you did is the best thing for them, you saved countless tears, sleepless nights, sorrow-filled days, time spent yearning in hours of mind bending thought that otherwise they would just have arrived at some answer not because its the right answer or correct answer but because it is an answer, because you're tired, you want to go and see the "sunnier tomorrow."
but what if that sunnier tomorrow is in the eyes, the heart and soul of someone else?
that your tears and seemingly unanswered cries for help are the answers to someones long, tired, fight and struggle to cling on to something they're told is right and true, to cling on to a hope.
so is doing the "right thing" the thing that brings you the most pain and sorrow filled and tear stained hours, just knowing that you've bent the break in the clouds for that someone else?
or is it even for us to know?
is it the thought, or something to keep us striving to do this elusive "right thing."
