Choose wisely before you "act".

Choices are 'critical'! After gathering as many facts as possible, you gain the information needed to make the correct decision and verifying critical choices that mold your future. Right and Wrong are pretty obvious (for most of us). If you use that info alone, the choices you make are more obviously correct and "positive". Respect and empathy are not easily learned but always tools for making positive choices with little or no repercussions.

If I might add but a few thoughts to your wonderful response, Erle, it is similarly critical, if not essential to ensure that the effect of outcome also be considered, as every decision we make has direct and indirect impact on those of us surrounding that initial thought-turned-action. That those around us adjust... change even their own world according to what they learn... from us; therefore, it is imperative that before we open our mouth with opinion that we do-so with substance, credibility, and (supportable) fact.
