How To Make Good Decisions And Be Right ALL The Time

Well, let’s tackle the first part of that, shall we? How to make good decisions, and then we’ll get into the how to be right all the time after that.

In order to make good decisions you have to consider the impacts of what you’re doing. By that I mean will it hurt you? Will it hurt other people around you or will it hurt the environment or society as a whole? That’s your way of figuring out the ecological impacts of your decision.

I don’t mean treehugger nature type ecology, I mean how will it impact the people, the environment and basically the chain of life and events and happenings around you.

Of course, there’s no way on Earth or any possibility you can know every possible outcome but if you can think “Is this going to hurt me? My family? My neighbors? My friends? The people around me? The world as a whole? Is it really going to hurt any of them?” and your answer is no? Great. Go to the next step.

The next step is “Am I doing this just for me? Or am I doing this to add value to the world?” Both are fine but adding value to the world and significance to other people’s lives is inherently more useful to other people. But if it’s just an exercise in you making good decisions for yourself and your own future, then it doesn’t so much matter whether or not you’re producing things for other people.

But if you’ve considered those things and you put a concerted effort into what it is that you’re doing and it’s not negatively impacting other people, you’re making a good decision with the best available information and tools that you have at this time.

I mean obviously if you knew the solution to every problem out there, it would be trivial. You just go at it like an all-knowing robot, or rather like God, he’s kind of a robot but he’s all-knowing, you would immediately have no questions, this is a moot point.

However, we’re not that way and if we do our due diligence to consider the impact on everyone else as best we can with the skills and education we have so far, we’re making a good decision. Don’t think about it too much. Don’t let the wheels spin until you’re worried into paralysis. Do what you can, do what’s morally and ethically correct to your best of your ability to interpret, and if you don’t know, ask someone who does.

As far as figuring out how to be right all the time, you can’t be right all the time. There’s no way. There is what is naturally right and considered a natural law that can’t be broken or worked without, whether it’s like gravity or life exists and needs to be respected, working within those is a way to be right.

But if you’re trying to say being right in arguments with other people, it’s not possible, because you’d have to convince and change their belief system, and I’m not just talking about religion, but I mean in everything they believe in, to conform with yours, which you probably also don’t fully understand and haven’t explored yet, so you’re pitting up a completely unknown to a kind of unknown and you get a bunch of “Eh, nobody really knows.”

So sorry, while you can make your decisions good and better than they have been before with a little bit of effort, you’ll never be able to be right all the time. Just plan to learn from your mistakes and grow from there and you’ll be alright.

Hope that helps, have a good one and peace out.
