it's one of the most frequently asked questions in therapy and life in general.
life rarely breaks down into absolute right and wrong. ask 5 people what they would do in a tough situation, and you'll likely get 5 different answers.
that is why doing the right thing isn't a realistic goal. it only sets you up for failure.
instead, ask yourself "is this the right thing for me?"
only you know your situation. only you know all the variables that went into making your decision. you even know what is best for you.
life is hard enough without the burden of aspiring towards absolute morality. even if you do what you think is right, you'll find someone who questions your decision. you can't, and never will, do what is right for everyone.
you've tried making everyone else happy. you know it almost always leaves you sad and frustrated.
try a different approach.
focus on doing what is right for you.
if you do what is right for you, you will always be right.
