“Dare to do right.”

Rex D. Pinegar

Doing the right thing might seem easy sometimes, but it is not.  It takes a lot of courage to be able to do the right thing without caring what anyone else thinks or says about you.  That is why when someone dares you to do something wrong, it comes easy to you.  Doing the wrong thing is always going to be easier than doing the wrong thing.  Why?  Mostly because people think that doing the wrong thing is “cool” and that doing the right thing is “lame”.  This is why you must dare to do right.  You have to be able to do what is right, no matter how much boldness or bravery it takes.  For example, if someone dares you to either cross a red light or help an elderly woman with her groceries, which dare would you pick?  Which one sounds “cooler”?  It doesn't matter, because at the end of the day, you have to dare to do what is right.  Even if it means that others will make fun of you.
