Or more simply, we shouldn't do the wrong thing, even if we can get away with it, and it would seemingly enrich us or make us happy. In the cosmic eternal scale, doing the wrong thing always bites us in the a@@, but our time-table is not God's
Dear Theoden,
Just recently, maybe as recent as yesterday, I started reading your thread. You are a wise sage, and I wish to follow in these footsteps. Sometimes it is hard, I'll admit that. I am the worst for not always doing the right thing. Giving it to God has always been the best means of dealing with hardship in my lifetime. I have been married once before, when I was very young. And I remember asking God not to make me bitter. Bitter is a hard and lonely world. This time I ask God to do the right thing. I have a story, too, about things happening in God's time. I will tell it one day, if I ever find the strenght.
