This one is rather simple or rather difficult depending on what manner one is speaking in. If one tells you to do such a thing then perform thusly: look to the side of your body which is directed eastward while facing north. If you gain sense out of this then your are rather lucky, your search is complete and no more need be said. If not then read what follows. The "right thing" may be interpreted in various ways. One may see it as the "just thing", the "proper thing", the "ethical thing", the "aesthetic thing", the "holy thing", perhaps even the "unholy thing" and many many more. I cannot pretend to be so concrete as to chose which one is best, as one touches upon an answer it crumbles to your feet. Many philosophers have touched upon this issue. It was (according to some interpretations) the main focus of Kierkegaard's Either/Or. He concieved, in the first volume, (paraphrasing) that either you will or you won't, you shall regret both. The second volume was a bit more opptimistic: perhaps you will regret both, but is the fact that you made a decision that you may learn from that counts. Nietzsche would probably assure you that you will do the right thing if you believe that you are doing such. On this is must say that it is a very subjective thing and that in doing what is "right" you are the final judge (unless you are a theologian in which you are the final judge of whether or not your God(s) believe you did the right thing...). -QEM
