“It makes a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today.”

James Freeman Clarke

Reflection: This quote by James Freeman Clarke is very powerful because he says that whether we do right or wrong today it will make a difference to all eternity. There are many things that have happened in the past where someone or a group of people either chose to do wrong one day and other days where some people might have chosen to do right. For example, the 9/11 catastrophe where thousands of office workers, hundreds of firefighters and policemen lost their lives all because a group of people decided to do wrong that day. Even today it still makes a difference in the lives of the people who knew someone caught in that incident. Another example is that there are many groups that help in any emergency like the red cross or any other organization and all those different groups  make a difference that will definitely make a difference in people’s lives for all eternity. We need to remember every morning when we wake up that whether we do right or wrong today that it will make a difference to all eternity.
