There is also virtue in simply doing no harm (in some situations), which can be classified as doing the 'right thing' in a negative sense.

I do not know if this can be classified as doing no harm, but I do believe that sometimes, maybe even a lot of the time, the right thing is to do nothing.

This is what I think of as the "patience of the saints" because doing nothing is the hardest thing, I think.
