Everyone wants to do the right things in one way or another. Would you put yourself out in a situation to do it? By putting yourself out in the world it may cause a difference or start a reaction. Even when you believe it won’t have any change where you’re at, but it is something you must fulfill.

Multiple times a day we have to make a choice, and we choose what we think is right. Without this “compass” we may not care what we do or about others. It may even decrease our emotions of love and empathy.
Everyone is obligated in one way or another, and we all have a right to stand up for ourselves and others. That is what the good inside of us is telling us what to do. We have the right to stand up and fight for our rights and the rights of others who can’t stand up
