Do what you should do.
Many or most of our choices that matter are that simple, but we work really hard to confuse ourselves, to justify and rationalize the choice we want, because that's what we want.
If our choices are difficult because it really is honestly difficult to tell what the right thing is, then it's not a moral flaw to be mistaken.

- kbelder 2y agoNope, not what I was saying. I'm saying that distinguishing right from wrong is usually the easy part of the process. It's the 'draw two circles' step. Not deceiving yourself about the result is the hard part. That's a psychological problem, not a philosophical problem.
