Reply To: How Do I Repay?

BTW, for the record, I understand that people think I’m being stupid when I post these types of questions, but I think there is a very valid point here.

It’s easy to say that you should do the right thing when the right thing is actually very clear. But very often, one is faced with a small (sometimes very small) moral question… the type of question where even if you make the wrong choice, no terrible harm with come to anyone, no one will castigate you for making the wrong choice and where it’s very easy to rationalize the choice you make, whether it’s right or wrong.

But personally, I sometimes think that it’s exactly these sorts of questions that help to define a person. It’s how we act in the small details, when we can rationalize that it doesn’t matter how we act since there are no earth-shattering consequences, how we judge ourselves when most of the world would say “why are you even bothering?” — it’s precisely those moments and decisions that most define who you are. That’s why I ask these sorts of questions.

Anyway, that’s just my opinion. Feel free to disagree — I won’t be offended.
