Right or Wrong


How do we justify something whether it is right or wrong?

Do you ever think of this question before you categorize something as right or wrong?

Well, i guess you might in return want my answer to this question before you start answering.
To be sincere, I never think of this question until I found it inevitable to get the answer myself for me to keep moving forward. Before i letting you know my complete answer i would rather you read through the article. In the end, the decision is in your hand on how you perceive right or wrong in many situations.

You might found these sentences appear frequently especially in research documentation "based on law of conservation of energy by Einstein, these phenomena is violating .......". Take into consideration of another example, a girl who fall deeply for a bank robber which she knew the fact that he is a bank robber in the very first place. How would you judge whether the girl is doing the right or the wrong thing for falling for the guy?

In the view of some people, she is not doing anything wrong for falling for a criminal. Instead some might think she is brave for the decision she made. At the other hand, I believed both of her parents will most probably agree with me that she is doing the wrong decision as possible consequences to their daughter's decision is taking into account.

The fact i want to let you know here is that by judging things based on different perspectives the outcomes is unnecessary the same. Something right to you might not right to other people.

One day when you are shopping in a mall, you witness a little boy slapping another little girl on her arm some distance away from you. Once again, how would you judge whether the little boy is doing the right or the wrong thing for slapping another little girl?

Hmm, i guess most of you might agree that the boy is wrong for slapping another little girl. What if the truth is that the little boy was trying to get rid of an insect that apparently staying on her arm?

Information available to your extend do alter the way you perceive something being right or wrong. There are variety of people out there waiting for us to interact with, it will be very difficult to determine whether someone is doing thing right or wrong as we are judging it based on our own perspective and the available information we have in our mind.

I would rather try to work out everything in my mind rather than just stopping myself with right or wrong.
