My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.

Doing What's Right
The rule is that you always do what is right, and the "always-ness" of it never ends. It is not that you do not do what is wrong. That is a rule for someone else, and they get to have "shoulds," not "have tos." It is not fair, but neither will it change.
