One platitude that I heard years ago on the show "The Golden Girls" was Dorothy telling another Golden Girl "Do what is best for you", this is a totally selfish bit of advice. When I was a crazy teen/young adult criminal what was best for me was to steal what was yours. Then I could enjoy it. The better advice is do what you feel the Lord would have you do. Using this I would not have stolen anything from anyone, and the Lord would have led me to get help for my addictions. This is what would have been best for me and the community I had terrorized.
