What is the right thing?
We all ask ourselves the question when faced with confusion; when the path forward isn’t so obvious. When we really aren’t sure what the right thing is.
This week, we’ll see what it looks like when there are two right answers butting up against each other. But here, I simply want to invite us into wondering what we think we’re doing in the first place. Why we assume there is one right answer.
This is the underlying problem of looking for THE right answer: like the Highlander, there can be only one. Except when there are two. Or more. Then we have to choose which is more right. But then we aren’t looking for the right answer, but the most right answer. And that is a whole different thing. Except we never treat it as different!
If we’re all right, we need other values. Like good, generous, and loving.
