What's right when what's left is right?
I thought NBCCH INTERLINK newsletter readers might be interested in
this induction that I wrote during this incessant political debate, as follows:
Do you remember hearing as a child "always do what's right?" And
throughout the years, I have tried as hard as I could to think right and
to do right, because after all, what's left? It gets confusing
sometimes, though, because you have so many Republicans who are "right,"
and Democrats who are not..., but feel "left." And that's part of the
problem, you see, because Republicans always think they're right, and
that Democrats are "not right" (if you know what I mean), and it's just
not right to accuse them of being "not right" just because they tend to
be left. But Democrats also consider themselves "right", so who's left?
Certainly, not the "middle of the roaders", who are neither right nor
left, but who still consider themselves just as "right" as those on the
right, even though they aren't considered right either by those on the
right or left, isn't that right? But what then do you call those who are
left after those who consider themselves "right" and those who consider
themselves just as right even though they're "left?" So it's getting
harder and harder to determine right from left or even consider what's
left after you've chosen to think right and to do right. But isn't it
better to take what's left..., and to make it right,... right now?
Everyone knows that's the right thing to do, is this not right?
So, you can either think about what's right or about what's left..., or
just let your eyes close easily..., relax fully..., and trust your
unconscious mind to sort it out for you....Yes.......that's right!
