Many people might think that the best way to survive in life is to do what is right.
Your concepts or feelings of right or even your way of acting based on other people's feelings do not necessarily reflect the best way to survive in life.
Oh, certainly, if you follow a document such as the Torah, then you are guaranteed to do the right thing.
However, there are many other decisions in life which are not as clear and in which you perhaps with the assistance of your confidant may have to make decisions.
In more cases than that you will have to make on-the-spot decisions and you will have to make those decisions without the assistance of anybody else.
You are likely to have many of these decisions to make every day depending on your position in life.
Should you fight the Don Juan battle in order to be able to do what is right as you see it?
Not necessarily. Perhaps you should do what many other people think is right.
This, of course, is not a a foolproof method. Think about the ways that people are attracted to evil or how they follow peer pressure wrongly as two ways in which your efforts to do right may be misguided.
