Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one - Marcus Aurelius
We don't have angels and devils on our shoulders, but we all know right from wrong. We get a gut feeling before decisions. Our subconscious has done all the hard calculations for us. If we listen to that, we will avoid a lot of future heartache.
Our values determine what we see as good/bad. We may hold telling the truth high, but if we view loyalty as higher, we should choose loyalty over truth. Both options may lead to bad outcomes, but outcomes are out of our control. We can sway the odds to be more in our favor, but we don't have full control over every outcome. Be good and think right, the rest doesn't matter.
Task
1. How did you feel after doing what you knew was right?
2. Compare that to how you felt after doing wrong.
3. What is the right action for you now?
4. What's the smallest step you can take towards this action?
5. Do it
