“If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it”
Marcus Aurelius

I think this quote is simple and self-explanatory. So the theme of all these quotes is “choose the right”. The first half of this quote is basically another way of saying that. The second half of the quote is saying not to lie. Obviously we all lie. Everyone in the world has at least told some form of lie for some type of reason, may it be good or bad. I lie, of course. I lie a lot. BUT I do not lie for the wrong reasons. I do not lie to hurt anybody nor do I lie to conceal information that would be important to someone. I only lie to encourage someone, compliment someone, even to save time on telling the truth. Lying is only bad when you make it bad. But of course it is viewed as negative, so for all intents and purposes—Lying is bad! Don’t do it, its evil.
