  • What’s more Important: doing the right thing or doing things right? FB Reddit Twitter

* Doing the right thing, which, consequently, isn’t always what we’d like it to be. There’s a reason we have a conscience.

* Do the right thing…but it’s tough because at time you could be all alone

* Doing things right The path to hell is paved with good intensions

* I guess without understanding what is right would preclude doing both. And somtimes, what could be right for one could be wrong for another.

* Doing the right thing right

* No reason to choose between the two.

* Doing the right thing, obvs

* Whichever does the greatest amount of good. Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons can cause a lot of damage. Just like how an obsession with perfectionism can cause harm as well. It’s our duty to look at the situation objectively and determine the best course of action, regardless of our biases.

* Right, correctly or wrong is perspective. Isn’t there more than one way to do a thing? Being right still can damage the outcome of “the other half” depending on the how “big” the “right” is. I need coffee.

* Do the right things. The thief would think stealing is…
