Why is it that there are always people who want to try to make you feel bad when you do the right thing? It is already hard enough in society today, to do the right thing. It is honestly (and sadly) easier and faster to just “follow the crowd” instead of trying to stand up for what is right. Now, I am not saying that society always prefers people to do the wrong thing. I am simply stating that doing what is right is often the harder option and that society is not always worried about right versus wrong. I’ve tried to teach my children to stand up for what is right, even if you are standing alone. I believe that my kids have learned this, but I also know that they tend to try to be “people pleasers” as well. This is a tough line to draw. It is difficult to do the right thing while trying to make everyone happy. I would know. My children get it from me. I realize it is both a good and bad thing. I simply try to teach them that “people pleasing” cannot be at your own expense. It is more important to do the right thing than it is to make people happy. Hopefully we all will do the right thing and continue throughout life. Never feel bad about doing what is right. There will always be people that give you issues and it is usually because the “right thing” doesn’t benefit them. Oh well. Make the right decision and don’t base it on who it makes happy.
