WEEK 45

Day 309: On the Matters of Right and Wrong

Right  is  right  even  if  no  one  is  doing  it;  wrong  is  wrong  even  if

everyone is doing it.

—Augustine of Hippo

More  than  70%  of  U.S.  adults  aged  20  and  over  are  overweight  or

obese. 

309


 Does that mean that it’s right to be obese?

On average, American adults are watching five hours and four minutes

of television per day. 

310


 Does  that  mean  that  it’s  right  to  spend  a  third  of

your waking hours and well over a half of your leisure hours watching TV?

If  you’re  after  self-improvement,  you  need  to  acknowledge  that  the

right thing is right even when few people are doing it — and that no matter

how many people are doing the wrong thing, it’s still wrong.

Don’t comfort yourself by saying that your negative habits aren’t that

negative  because  so  many  people  engage  in  them.  Even  if  everybody

exhibits such behaviors, it doesn’t make them right.

Have  the  courage  and  self-discipline  to  resist  the  temptation  to

compare yourself to the majority. Instead, if you must compare yourself to

anyone, compare yourself to the people you want to emulate, even if they’re

but  a  speck  in  an  infinite  crowd  of  people  who  don’t  care  in  the  slightest

about becoming better.
