STOP AND THINK The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can DO wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot. (Mark Twain)
Samuel Clemens (his real name) rightly observed that man is different from the animals and that he inherently “knows right from wrong.” He falls short, however, in understanding the significance of his observations. Who set the standard for right and wrong? Does man have in himself the ability to always choose right? Important questions!
You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways. (Isaiah 64:5)
