"Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths." ~ Psalm 25:4Remember Richard Pryor in the movie, Which Way Is Up?
On his "way up," Pryor's lifestyle clearly revealed how conniving, cheating, and disregard for others, created confusion and stress. ... Not only for himself--but for all involved.
Seeking our way up can be exhausting and stressful . . . especially if we're not seeking the right way. When we seek in wrong places or with wrong people or wrong principles, we open ourselves to numerous stresses.
At one time or another, stress-survivors have questioned "Which way is up?" Regardless of which side of the fence we've roamed--victim or villain--we've witnessed the outcome of erroneous actions.
Countless experiences have convinced us that the way up does not call for taintedness, but instead requires honesty, decency, and respect.
As evident with actor Pryor, unscrupulous behavior may boost egos and may even satisfy for a spell, but it ultimately fails to render a successful way up.
In our quest to be better individuals and to acquire better health, wealth and happiness--believing that God's way is the number one "way up"--stress-survivors seek directions from Him.
Peace I leave with you . . .

Great post. We can see examples of immoral behavior and what the consequences are. As for me, I choose integrity and love.
