Marcus Aurelius

“If it is not right, do not do it; if it is no true do not say it”.- Marcus Aurelius

What this quote is trying to tell us is that we should always choose the right because if we don’t we'll end up having consequences. Another thing is that when you know that something isn’t right we shouldn’t do it because we can get in serious trouble just like I stated earlier. An example would be, you go to the store with your mom and you see this nice new sweater, but it’s expensive and you know that your mom won’t buy it. Instead you decide to steal it without know one seeing you. Do you think you’re making the right choice by just stealing it. I believe that you shouldn’t do it because that is not right. Imagine if it was the opposite of that you probably wouldn’t get in trouble because you decided to do the right thing. It’s better to want something than just going ahead and stealing it, eventually you will get it maybe not now but later on. When you know that something isn’t true, do you think that you should be able to say it out loud. I believe that you shouldn’t  because that can cause the other person to get in trouble for something that isn’t even true. Always choose the right and think twice before you commit your actions.
