"Commencez par ce qui est juste plutôt que par ce qui est acceptable"
— Franz Kafka
Simplified Meaning:
When we make decisions, we often think about what others will agree with or what will avoid causing problems. However, it's more important to focus on what is truly the right thing to do. Imagine you find a wallet on the ground. Keeping it might be acceptable because no one saw you find it, but the right thing to do is to return it to its owner. This approach helps us build a fair and just society because it prioritizes honesty and kindness over convenience. If we always choose what's right, even when it's harder, we create trust and respect among people. This can make our personal relationships stronger and help us feel good about our actions.
