“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”

-Rosa Parks

Reflection

I believe that this statement is very true. One should not be afraid of what their dong or of any of the consequences as long as they are doing what is right. When someone choses the wrong there are bad consequences and you have to worry about many things such as getting caught. You are also left with guilt and that is what we should fear. An example of doing what is right and when we should fear of what we do would be someone seeing a person steal. If he decides to contact the police to stop the person then he should fear of anything because he is doing what is right. He should not fear on what other people say because his action , stopping the robber, is the correct thing to do.

Summary/Reflection

Summary:

Marion Jones was a multi time Olympic medal winner. After many years of her winning the Olympic gold medal she confessed that she was using illegal drug to enhance her athletic performance. She had lied to the inspectors and had lived years with the lie that she had won by cheating. Being the face of America in the Olympics she shocked everyone and most sadly she disappointed many. She was punished for her actions. Her metals were removed and she was sentenced to six months in prison.

Reflection:

Jones was living with guilt for years. Even if the reward was great her conscious was not left alone until she burst out the true. She knew what the consequences would be and she decided to face them anyways. It is important to choose the right and be honest to everyone especially with one’s self. No matter how easy it seems to get away with something, your conscious won’t be pure and it won’t let you be in peace.

Summary/ Reflection

Summary:

After 60 years a man returns money he had stolen in the late 1940s from Sears. He had stolen about 25 dollars then. He decided to pay back 60 years later. The man left an envelope with a cashier at Sears with a 100 dollar bill inside addressing it to the manager. Inside with the money, he included a note that explained that he had stolen the money 60 years ago and that he was paying back.  

Reflection:

I believe that if you choose the wrong a bad conscious will forever live with you until you do the right thing. This man carried the guilt with him after 60 years. So much time past but his conscious continued to remind him that he had done bad. To be free of the guilt he decided to pay back. It was until then then his conscious could be free. I believe this is true for all of us. We will always have a guilty conscious when choosing the wrong until we do the right thing.

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.”

-Albert A. Montapert

Reflection

When someone makes a choice there will be a result from those choices. The results are called consequences. There are good and bad consequences. When one chooses the right there is good consequences. When one chooses the wrong, there are bad consequences. No matter what you do to try escape from the consequences, they will hit you. That is the reason one should always choice the right, so that they’ll experience nothing but good consequences.
