Doing the right thing is often not the easiest of things to do. I know, I’ve lived it through and through and paid the hefty price for taking a stand for what is right against something that is wrong–and I shall do it all over again!
Sure, I have taken a stand against big things, such as poverty and abuse (from whence I came) but I sometimes think the little every day wrongs that become my just cause in my fight for right may be equally as important in the grand scheme of life things.
I have learned that sometimes just not compromising what’s right for wrong by standing alongside a loved one or a friend undergoing an injustice may make all the difference in their world.
I figure there comes a time when a woman (or a man) just has to draw the line in the dirt and prepare to do battle with wrong, even if it means getting hurt. Just do the right thing and you can not go wrong!
Is there something you have taken a stand against, big or small?
Yes, Claudia, a half dozen listeners will get a half dozen different messages from the same song, and none may be what the songwriter had in mind! And yes, Tippin's tune immediately came to mind during a specific discussion of right against wrong. Sometimes we really do have to stand for something.
There is something about music that is so very personal, isn't there? This song seems to have touched you deeply and with good reason from what I'm reading.
What a lovely thought out post Ruth. Found your link through a Facebook group.
Lovely to meet you here Ruth! Wonderful review, I had not heard of him before.
It is a great song and this is an excellent review! Welcome to Wizzley :)
Hadn't come across him but you have prompted me to go and take a look. Welcome to Wizzley Ruth!
Hit a spot in my heart for many reasons. Very nice review of Aaron Tippin's song and the whys we should all take a stand.
Ruth, it looks terrific! Wonderful job making the switch and a great review with a powerful message <3
Looks great Ruthi!
Great Review Ruthi!
