Joseph Bergin’s “Do the Right Thing”
Context:
Things are bad. Really bad.
Forces:
When things are bad it is really tough and bad things happen.
When things get better the bad stuff doesn’t happen any more and you feel good. Really good.
Solution:
Do the right thing. Make the bad thing better.
Resulting Context:
Things are good. Really good.
Known Uses:
When you were small your father would make the Monsters Under the Bed go away just by sticking his head in your room. He did the right thing.
When you are really sick, eat your Mom’s chicken soup. Only your Mom’s. Only she knows how to do the right thing.
