Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Should
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
This advice seems intuitive and obvious enough.
Just because you can jump in a well doesn't mean you should.
Just because you can spend all your savings on lottery tickets doesn't mean you should.
But this maxim goes beyond the obvious and the absurd:
Just because you can juggle a million commitments and sacrifice sleep doesn't mean you should.
Just because you can extract revenge doesn't mean you should.
Just because you can hold a grudge or withhold forgiveness doesn't mean you should.
Just because you can do more doesn't mean you should.
Just because you can get away with it doesn't mean you should.
Just because you can say yes doesn't mean you should.
Just because you can say no doesn't mean you should, either.
Don't take your freedoms for granted.
Use them with intention.
