A few weeks ago I received a cute little fortune with my Chinese takeout:
"Do what you wish, as long as it does not harm anyone."
It's not much of a fortune, much less good advice. Yet, this seems to be this hedonistic philosophy behind much of our American lifestyle. A friend on Facebook recently posted a rant about how no one should tell her what to do because she is her own person and can do whatever she wanted.
Something I am still in the process of learning is that life isn't about you and what you want to do. I am not the most important person in this world, or even my own world. Every decision you make affects someone else.
Perhaps, then, others can tell you how to live.
Or Someone who knows it best.
