Turkey Sandwich VS. Chocolate Ice Cream

What if one day it rained and instead of everyone running across the parking lot with their umbrellas and raincoats and rain boots, we all just danced and splashed in the puddles and completely didn't care that we were getting soaking wet. Wouldn't life be so much better because of that one moment of not caring?

I think that a lot can be said about doing what you want. You might say that it's not always the best thing. You might say that it's selfish. But I say, it's a good idea.

It's like that whole rule about only eat what you want. That rule totally works. If you eat what you really truly want to eat and only that then you will most likely be relatively healthy. Like all those times where I really want jalapenos stuffed with chicken and cheese or a delicious turkey sandwich, but because those are too hard to get I have chocolate ice cream instead because it's the next best thing.

Jumping into a totally random analogy, that's kind of like what everything in life is like. Sure, I really want to help those starving children in those foreign countries, but that requires effort, so I do the next best thing which is write about them in a blog. Yeah, it makes me a terrible person, but so does eating chocolate ice cream because we all know I want a turkey sandwich!

So, basically, I feel like people who aren't completely morally corrupt will pretty much always want to do the right thing, but sometimes the thing they want to do isn't so easy so they choose the next choice. Unfortunately the next choice isn't always a good choice.

So, do what you want! Don't settle for chocolate ice cream when you know you want that super tasty turkey sandwich!
