THE PILGRIM 31 DO YOU BELIEVE IN SIGNS? D0 you drive a car? If not, you prob- ably will do so eventually. When that time comes, you will find it desirable, yes, necessary-to conform to a great many regulations and rules of the road if you wish to escape inconvenience and possible disaster. Assuming that most operators wish to drive safely and real- izing that the others must be con- strained to do so, lights and signs have been placed at strategic points to serve as guides and warnings which must be obeyed in the interest of safety. I think the best example of self-discipline I have ever o-bserved is the way and man- ner in which the majority of drivers stop at a red light, even late at night when no other car is in sight, and wait until it becomes green. Perhaps the chance that an ofiicer may be hiding be- hind a tree may act as a deterrent, but I think most operators just accept the situation and act accordingly. All of' this leads me to a consideration of the connotations of some of the signs we frequently o-bserve. 'Take, for example, the sign Go Right. Obedience to this injunction is comparatively easy of accomplishment. So it is with Keep Right . But when one is giving direction to his own life, which is of far greater consequence than drving a car, th-e execution becomes more diflicult. This is because right takes on a different meaning and is construed to imply distinction from wrong or improper. Here is where we find ourselves at times up against a real problem, for has it not been said that what is one man's meat, is an- other man's poison ? Don't we ask our- selves. What is right. anyhow? Per- haps I can help you find the answer. It is obvious that certain thoughts, words. and deeds can be definitely cata- lfwued as right and wrong , but it is likewise true that others cannot be so readily classified. Standards are chang- ing. Practices are now accepted as proper which would have caused many people to throw up their hands in horror when I was your age. The result is that we are constantly called upon to ap- praise our standards and, if need be, revise some of our pre-conceived ideas. In so doing we are certain to have doubts and possibly some qualms of con- science. In my own experience I have found it helpful, when I am confronted with the question, Is this contemplated action right or wrong? , to test it out with three counter-questions. The first of these three questions is, How will this affect me personally? Will it benefit me in any way? Will it contribute to my physical well-being, add to my store of knowledge, and lead to a better understanding and appre- ciation of the spiritual values of life? Are the returns worth the time and ef'- fort involved? Can I do it and keep my self-respect, even if nobody knows about it? In other words, will the results be constructive and helpful and enrich my life and experience? If the answer is Yes, then I conclude that the proposed line of action is right and I accept itg if No , then I reject it forthwith. The second question is, How is this going to affect others-my family, friends, and associates ? Will it weaken or strengthen my influence for good? Will it enhance or lessen -their respect for me? If any are disposed to follow my example, in which direction am I leading them? How will it affect the welfare and happiness of my family? You s-ee, very often the question of right or wrong concerns not only the individ- ual but also his associates, and becomes thereby a social question. It is quite possible that an action which would be entirely harmless to me as an individ- ual might be misunderstood, with the result that some one might inadvert- entlv be misled. I feel that the answers to this second question deserve careful consideration. The third question is, What would happen if everybody did it ? As a mem- ber of society every last one of us is bound to consider this aspect of the problem. It involves not only what we do but what we do not do. Suppose everybody w-ere slelflish, inconsideratfe pf' the welfare of others, careless, lazy, or dishonest? What would be the conse- auences if everybody gambled or drank intoxicating liquor to excess? What would happen to our cherished democ- racy if everybody neglected to perform his full civic duty? Imagine living in a community in which nobody attended church or supported religious, charit- able, and philanthropic organizations. When we remember that society is no better than the individuals who com- pose it, you will understand, I am sure, whv I stress this third qquestion. I could, if space permitted, give you any number o-f illustrations and ex- amples to strengthen the validity of what I have stated in somewhat general pi ,Sterms But I leave it to you to exercise
