there is a commonly held misconception that doing the right thing feels good

laughable at best…………………………

goes way beyond feeling…………..for as we have come to know feelings are often not factual

so if we are looking for elation or gratification from doing what is right we will often be disappointed

sometimes it takes time for things to align and that doesn’t happen overnight

peace will come as we learn to follow our heart instead of our head

because what we know pales compared to what we don’t know

perhaps that is the essence of wisdom:

not the gaining of knowledge but rather the awareness and acceptance of what there is yet to learn

do the right thing and the dividends will come

but don’t kid yourself……………..it doesn’t always initially feel good
