How often are we deterred from saying the right thing...
How often are we thwarted from doing the right thing...
How often are we dissuaded from believing the right thing...
... by the good intentions of others...
... by that friend armed with apocryphal testimonies, that colleague brimming with factless knowledge, that adviser wielding authority as flaccid as credentials...
... whose vehemence is implacable, whose fervor is relentless, whose intentions are the best...?
Yet...
... all the best intentions in the grandverse...
... all the good intentions of all kind...
... are worthless...
... if they are lies of self conceit and personal hubris.

We know what is wrong and we know what is right.
To stand 'fore the friend armed with apocryphal testimonies... and say the right thing...
To stand 'fore the colleague brimming with factless knowledge... and do the right thing...
To stand 'fore the adviser wielding authority as flaccid as credentials... and believe the right thing...
... is right.
Because such friends, such colleagues, such advisers...
... are frauds...
... whose personal hubris and self conceit pave roads of ill intention that rob all of us of right...
... for wrong.
How often are good intentions merely excuses, justifications, defenses of that which is wrong and indefensible?
How often are good intentions merely tools of manipulation, intimidation, coercion by advisers, colleagues, friends... whose intentions lie as facilely as promises?
How often do we heed what we know to be right and what we know to be wrong...?
How often do we stand 'fore implacable self conceit and ruthless personal hubris...
... and repudiate the road that is wrong...
... and take the road less travelled...
... and believe, and do, and say... the truth?
Because all the snookering in the grandverse...
Because all the polishing of mirrors as black as lies by all kind...
... would be for naught...
... if right prevailed every when wrong deceived.

If a contract or agreement binds us to wrong...
... is it right?
Is not such contract such agreement... indefensible?
Yet... such agreements as insipid as thrones such contracts as hollow as titles, persist here and there, with absolute disregard for what is right...
... for what is wrong.
If a contract or agreement binds us to wrong believing believe believer, wrong doing do doer, wrong saying say sayer...
... is it just?
Are not such contracts such agreements... coercive, hostile, extortive... regardless of intentions unscrupulously affirmed the best...?
For...
... here and there exist agreements and contracts that disenfranchise our dignity to right...
... here and there exist agreements and contracts that wrong.
After all is said...
After all is done...
... contracts and agreements come and go...
... what is wrong is the lie that lies and what is right is the truth that truths...
... as semper et perpetuum as inshallah karma moirai.

Intriguing that we live on a planet where ignorance runs rampant and the shills are too ready to provide alibis for the stupid and wicked - ultimately to dull the inevitable breach, chasm, or cataclysm of shunning the truth, of shunning reason, and ultimately of shunning God.
