EQUATING RIGHT AND WRONG
What is right and what is wrong? One drains away a lot of time computing this particular Gordian concept. Its simply akin to asking "what is the shape of water"?? Incontestable..isn't it? Just as water takes the shape of the container it is taken in, so do our so called moral values. There is no rights and no wrongs. They just take shape of the society they are attached to and a mind chained steadfast to such a society prefers to believe in them. Dare to let your mind wander in freedom and you start acknowledging that every other fact or option weigh the same in a logical mind..The logical mind is the slave of emotions..emotions that have again sprouted out of what one was taught was right or wrong. Thats why i repeat that one ought to "dare" to let your mind wander. What is dawn at our end might be dusk at the other end of the earth. Such is the case of right and wrong. So one might wonder what one has to stand by when given option between the two.. Thats where one has to employ his preferential knowledge. i.e One ought to learn the consequences of each option in different situation. You are not supposed to hurt anybody.. Naturally you would not prick another with a painful thorn. But you are logically correct if this helps to remove another thorn which is even more painful.. So the logic of right and wrong of every action depends on the intention behind it.. i.e whether it helps or not in the long run.
