Does the title remind you of that popular quote? Well its like that, and I got into a mood of writing about it because I recently did something right while no one was around.

The only question is why? Why is it better for us to do things correctly when no one is around? Why do something right when no one is going to know anyways? Well life isn't all about reputation with your neighbors, its about you too.

Doing something correctly on your own accord is like your own self-control and self-choice. This isn't for you to tell the world what you can do, but to make yourself into a person who can control their choices.

Its true, when we are usually around people, we usually end up going along with them instead of the opposite direction. Its crowd control, and it affects everyone greatly. Doing something right that doesn't have crowd control just builds you into a better person.

This is you inside, not the uneasiness around crowds. Doing something good can be motivating, but sometimes we just walk right pass it. A lot of us are missing that gut. We step out of line to do good, and I think its great.

Yesterday I was walking and it was already dark. On my way home I saw a Frisbee pole knocked over. Someone pulled it out of the hole of the ground. Of course I was curious who did that, and I realized that the lock that combined the pole and hole together was missing.

So I went ahead and put the heavy thing back in it's place. A lot of people love to play this game ALOT everyday, and I don't like to see disappointed faces to see a pole knocked over in the park.

I guess I did it because I don't want people to worry about equipment being destroyed in the park and having the feeling of moving to a different spot to play. It was like a coincidence, because the long road next to the park had no cars running by it. It was empty, and no one was around.


So I did my thing and continued to walk home. To be honest I felt great inside because I had my control there, and I had a smile that didn't want to betray me. So I just really happy last night, and I hope I can do more things like that if its going to make me feel good inside.
