Right Thing To Do

What matters is that you understand that others suffer,...some...
worse than u could ever do. The nature of compassion isn't coming to terms with ur own suffering and applying it to others. It's knowing that other folks around u suffer, and no matter what happens to u, no matter how lucky or unlucky u are, they keep suffering. And if u can do something about that, u do it, and u do it without whining or waving ur own... cross for the world to see. You do it because IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
(by Irish author John Connolly)

Actually, all of us have an alarm inside us to do the right things. But.. a pity that some choose to ignore, hide or even deny to do the right things with billion excuses.. Maybe they forget that the word 'RIGHT' here got 2 meanings which are : right as 'hak' & as 'benar'. So, it is our RIGHT to do the RIGHT things.. (adalah HAK kita utk melakukan hal2 yg BENAR/ dg BENAR)
