What is the right path for a person to follow?

One that honors both self and others.

 

Be attentive in all you do;

do not judge one deed small and another great,

for you cannot always know their significance.

 

Be virtuous, even if virtue is costly.

Avoid sin, even if sin is profitable.

 

Remember three things and you will not err:

 

If your deeds shouldn't be known,

perhaps they shouldn't be done.

If your words shouldn't be shared,

perhaps they shouldn't be spoken.

Act with attention,

for all your deeds have consequence.
