The key to doing the right thing is by listening. Just open your ears and eyes to what you feel. We're always telling us to do what we really believe to be right. The problem is when we do what we have to for ourselves, an overriding need of self-preservation. The clash between what we tell ourselves, and what we need to feel complete is what creates problems in our lives. For some people this is difficult because we crave so much, but we have to understand that sometimes, just sometimes we have to think of ourselves in the grand scheme of things. If we weren't helping ourselves, how could we help others?

What be the problem?
You'll do the right thing, you always do :)
You are already doing the right thing. Lots of right things in fact.

And by the way, I love your poetry.
Well, thank you. That’s a very interesting way of thinking about it.
“The clash between what we tell ourselves, and what we need to feel complete is what creates problems in our lives.”
I can really relate to that conflict.
