Everyone is Doing the Right Thing

You have a choice, but it's still not easy, in the heat of the moment, to make the right choice. There are some guidelines, a belief system, a philosophy if you will, that make it easier. Even if you don't believe, if you act as if you believe, they will work. And I think that you will come to believe.

Everyone is doing what they think is right, or at least justified, all the time. Before anyone does anything, they first convince themselves that it is the right thing to do. To understand someone, to talk to someone, even to convince someone to change what they are doing, you must acknowledge that. When you do, first in your mind and then in your words, it changes everything about how you approach them. You will not be the enemy if you believe they are basically good.

Everyone is basically good.
