Why can't we seem to separate the two?

My heart hurts when wrong decisions are made.  We all make them.  The problem is that there are consequences to each decision we make.  So many others are affected by decisions that are made...or not made. We don't get to choose the consequences. 
We make decisions because we don't want to offend those closest to us and end up discouraging those around us.  We get all mixed up in our thinking because our emotions cloud our judgment as we make decisions.  I sit back and watch decisions that are made in my life and in the lives of others...which then affect the lives of others...we are sacrificing what is right for what is comfortable for us.  We need to go back to the basic, simple thoughts found in this song.

"Do Right"


From the very start, have pur­pose in your heart


To do what’s right and never ques­tion why.


Never count the cost, though every­thing seems lost;


The price for doing right is some­times high


Right is always right, and wrong is always wrong,


And we must learn to sep­a­rate the two!

If you love the right, the Lord will give you light;


So seek the right in every­thing you do!

Do right till the stars fall, do right till the last call


Do right when there’s no one else to stand by you!


Do right when you’re all alone, do right though it’s never known.


Do right since you love the Lord — do right, do right!
