Do-Gooders

“The worst damage has been caused by competent people trying to do good.”

_Nassim Nicholas Taleb

“Do-gooders” are a nuisance to most people.

And the Church is full of them.

Mostly well-intentional Christians who feel it is their duty to fix people and tell them what they ought to do.

Remember this, if people don’t want to be helped there’s nothing you can do about it.  Do right and leave the goodness to happen if and when it does.

The ONE THING for today: Instead of being a do-gooder, do right.

Note about the picture.

It has nothing to do with my post; I just liked it. Having spent a number of years living in the northwest, rugged wilderness scenes like that strike a chord in my soul.
