There is more in this world than right and wrong:it's Perspective

Most of us ask question: "What is right and what is wrong?". This is a question to whom everyone might have a different answer.
Some define right and wrong on religious basis, some on basis of region, some inherit the definitions, some think and analyze and others just follow. In all this we consider wrong as always wrong and right as always right. But I feel like Einstein "everything is relative" and so is right and wrong.
For every person, their situation define right and wrong. Killing is wrong. Add perspective of killing in self defense. Killing is right. We all apply this to bigger things in life politics, laws, business but we forget it easily in small things argument with friends, discussion with children/parents, while talking to siblings or spouse. Ignoring the fact that people might have done something that they might consider right, we try and impose our definitions on them. They might not agree and arguments break. We mess our lives big time.
Today I will ask all those reading it to consider all reasons, like lack of knowledge, different social circles, different style of communication, lack of communication skills, might have not occurred, or it just felt right ,etc. while judging right and wrong for other people and see if there are fewer arguments.
I will also like to say that this is obvious that we all at some point might have to choose between good and better (bad/worst) but decision s worth taking. Might be picking bad from worst and better from good is right decision.
Do what your heart say is right and never what your heart say is wrong and it will never be difficult to choose, you will never have to look for answers and somehow others will also understand you(All others who matter).

  1. Read somewhere that "Anything which leads world towards chaos is wrong and anything that help in bringing harmony is right." Kind of thumb rule. If you want to apply. Think of an act of killin in self defense. If the person who is defending himself from someone has killed tht person. NOw imagine 1 million self defence killings. In short of we are total population minus 1 million criminals, so we are better off. It means was right to kill someone in self defense, presuming that the self defence was in order to save hi/herself from some criminal. Other way round consider small act of stealing 5 Rs from your father's pocket. NOw consider 1 million of such small stealings. We are in chaos where 1 million children are stealing something that they don't deserve, so its a wrong thing to do, presuming that the father is not a junkie. It sounds naive, but this is the only thing that has helped me in clearing the air of relativity. Although I dont feel Einstein, but I do believe that everything is relative. I hope this clears some air.

  2. Right said.. There is always two sides of the coin. What appears to be right for one may be totally incorrect for the other. It's more of perspective and circumstances.

    Keep writing more.
