Joshua Campbell
All decisions should be ethically sound in accordance with one's values. If fear is the motivator of choice, self preservation trumps deciding on what is right. If it is control of others that pulls you, self exaltation trumps any semblance of wisdom.
If you are a captive of guilt, you don't allow yourself the enjoyment of clear assertive decision making. In this case righteousness takes a back seat to self punishment. What must one do? Be no mans master, avoid negative self talk, face your fears head on. Doing the hard thing is usually the right thing. We do what is easy and we compromise our own knowledge of right and wrong. Doing the right thing can be painful, but in the long term you save your self the heartache of a wasted life.
