Making Decisions

Story Listen to the story “Button, Button” by Richard Matheson. Be prepared to make decisions for the protagonist as you hear more of the story.

Note As we evaluate our decisions, we should keep in mind three principles: We must never do evil even for the sake of accomplishing something good. We should always treat others with the same love and respect with which we wish to be treated. Everything we do should reflect genuine concern for people.
