I don't know if it is the right thing to do.

"I don't know if it is the right thing to do." Eye listens.
Corvi dances and sings and thinks: "I don't know if it is the right thing to do..."Crow looks at the paper this is written on and starts to peck at it...r is gone. i is eaten. g is pecked. h disappears. t is punched. Crow tilts her head and looks at this paper again. "I don't know if it is the 00000 thing to do." Satisfied, her head bobs bobs. She preens, nibbles at a feather, pulls it up and locks each barb. She smooths it back down. Her head whips back and she peers again at the paper. "I don't know....do."
Corvi stops dancing and sits. "I do some things when it is the thing to do, and choose not to do that thing when it is not the thing to do."
Eye think...that there are different questions to ask: What are the behaviors that I want to change? When are these behaviors the thing to do, and when are they not the thing to do?
