Nov. 2


Nov. 2: Today I had the opportunity to do the dishes for my roommates. As I brought my dirty plate and fork to the sink I thought to myself, “I could just leave it in the sink, one of my roommates will probably do it later.”
            Then I remembered that my roommates do the dishes all the time, and throughout the entire semester so far, I had only done them a couple of times. It would not only be charitable but it would be fair if I did them because really it was “my turn” to do them according to how long it was until the last time I did them. Because of my internal obligation, I did the dishes. It only took about five minutes out of my day, and I felt good afterwards for doing something honorable.
