Summary

This quote emphasizes that the challenge lies not in deciding to do what is morally or ethically right, but rather in determining what is the right course of action. It suggests that distinguishing between right and wrong can sometimes be complex and ambiguous, requiring careful consideration and judgment. In such situations, making the right choice becomes difficult because there may be multiple perspectives, conflicting values, or insufficient information. The quote implies that the difficulty lies in the process of discerning and understanding what actions align with righteousness rather than in the act of actually doing what is right.

That isn't as bad as it may first appear; and again it is the best thing in life that each should have everything in himself; his fate, his future, his whole expanse and world.
