" Nothing is wrong if it feels good."

I always found this quote reassuring, knowing that if you feel good about something, it’s okay. No matter what it is. But I came to a point where I doubt the truth of the sentence. I want to be able to see it from someone else’s perspective, I want to know what others think about this. Is this true?

Hi, it’s your favorite anonymous guy, having just now seen you on the OD front page: I can understand the sentiment to the statement, but I think it should have provisions which exclude acts which would harm other people merely for the sake of one person feeling good. (kinda like indoor smoking, or the like) But in the context of a soft-spoken young woman…

… the quote probably leans toward encouraging more confident self-expression which, in a way, could be priceless to such a person. Nice to see you sticking it out at Open Diary. (So many non-traditionalists are going to other diary sites)

I think you’re right to question this statement. Nothing may be wrong… for YOU. I go by, instead, “If it harms none, do as you will.” It’s a pagan belief, to be sure, but I think it gives you free will to be yourself and do your own thing… just so long as you are mindful that what you are doing isn’t hurting someone else just for the sake of “being who you are”. Does this help?

Please, reveal yourself! You’re right, I think about this quote when it comes to encouraging self-expression and i feel that then it’s a right quote, but to corvidae dawn, I think you have a point as well, anyway thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂

Letting you know that I saw this noted response of yours… I just… have so enjoyed replying to your entries over some lengthy time now… and offering you sincere and authentic encouragement (which is all you need). My diary… would… likely take away from my hoped-for impact of things I write to you. You ‘fit’ me so well in that you’re the sort of person who…

… already has all that she needs, and to whom a little boost could snowball into SO MUCH! I sense that vibe, strongly, from across the globe… and I hesitate to temper any effect I might have on you, with my diary. (the ones who already have/are all they need (to be) are such rewarding people, with minimum effort/investment required. Hope you thrive always!
