Listen man,
The fact that they did bad to you
Is still not enough reason
For you to not do good to them.
That’s the trouble with goodness,
You know.
There’s no reward.
The trouble with truth and all things truly noble
You are incentivized at almost every turn
To lie and compromise and cheat
Because they are doing it too, you know.
So why not I?
But you know,
That’s no reason to not stick to the truth
To not do the right thing
To not compromise in true spirit
To not be genuine in saying thank you
To not be sincere in saying sorry
To not be patient in times of uncertainty
Nothing’s ever a reason to not do it
There’s never been any
But man listen
You gotta do it
For no reason
You gotta do it
Always
Everytime
And always
Show right to wrong
Show with truth and gently
Show how it’s ought to be lived here
Because you know,
Somebody’s gotta do it
Everybody
Why not you
