September 26Right to Do
From a healthy union of Affection and Thought flows Energy. When we do love to do that which we perceive it right to do, we cannot otherwise than embody it in earnest action. This is moral beauty.
Lydia Maria Child—“What Is Beauty?” (1843)
When we do love to do that which we perceive it right to do, we cannot otherwise than embody it in earnest action.
And if that wasn't enough, research conducted by Just Capital (justcapital.com) year after year demonstrates that corporations that do that which they perceive it right to do are also the most profitable.
So there's that. Check out the rankings of America's Most JUST Companies from Just Capital. Of course, don't forget; you are in charge of deciding that which you perceive is right to do, what creates energy for you, what you define as moral beauty.
