Will I regret my action, even if it was for the greater good?
My husband and I were debating the notion that for the greater good we sometimes do things that are not in line with our values. Does the greater good hold priority?
This is a theme in my novel Rubato. Judith has a passion for the work of Franz Liszt. When she finds a long forgotten autograph manuscript of a Hungarian Rhapsody in the basement of the Liszt museum, she takes it home. It is a matter of protecting a treasure so that it is not lost or used as a commodity by someone who would sell it to the highest bidder. As the story unfolds, she regrets her actions. The manuscript ends up in a tug of war between several people who go to extreme lengths to claim it as their own.
It is always a current theme whether it appears in the Bible or a best seller. It usually ends in regret.

A piano teacher is found dead and a lost autograph manuscript of Franz Liszt is discovered. Who wanted that document enough to kill?
I fear for many today, they don't know what's right. But when we do know right, we must keep with its truth. Good analogy Gabrielle.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a thought-provoking question, Gabriele! I'm not sure how to answer it right now but you've certainly got me thinking!
