People do the right thing...Just to do the right thing.

Sorry it's been awhile, finals are next week so it's a little stressful. I don't really have any profound thoughts, just a few comments about life as I've seen it this week.

I just started watching the tv show "What would you do". Yes, I realize that this show is in it's 5th season and I'm a little late coming in on it. But it has actually really been encouraging to me this week. For those of you who have never seen the show, the producers hide cameras at a park, in a store, etc, and stage dramatic events to see how people would really react. For example, they had an episode where they had two teenagers act as though they had been drinking and were going to drive. Every single time, someone would stop the teens from getting in the car. After these people react, the host lets them in on the secret and asks them why they reacted in the way they did. The usual answer is "because it was the right thing to do". This show highlights people doing the right thing...just because it's the right thing to do.

I really have enjoyed this show, because usually TV shows or news stations focus on the bad things happening in life, instead of the good so it's refreshing to see something good and uplifting on TV.

I would encourage you to look around you and see how people are reacting to things around them, and be one of those people who does the right thing just because it's what you should do.

Be salt and light!
