The Right Thing to do is not Always the Correct thing to do!!

When you’re a little boy, you are taught to do the right thing. To make the RIGHT judgment of things, What is not right is justify as a bad thing and avoid doing it. Things that have morale and things that doesn’t harm another are to be accepted as the RIGHT thing. The good person is the one doing all the RIGHT things. The bad people are the one doing all the WRONG things. Very very simple, easy to understand and by nature it is perfect. But as I grew up and turning to be an adult.

How do you define RIGHT and what is WRONG?

Something that consider right to you may be wrong to another. People bombing the twin tower consider as bad, but in another angle of view point they are actually protecting something, protecting their pride? To me Purple may be my favorite color but to you? You may think purple is gay. Can you make a stand to state something to everyone if you think what you think is RIGHT? YES!! Only you thought, it’s only based on your point of view, true or not it’s just an opinion  and if that opinion is accepted by the group than it is consider the RIGHT thing.

In the corporate world I am living in right now, you can’t do the RIGHT things every time. If It is not correct, you may silent or pass if something you think is wrong and you may want to correct it. Because correcting something without knowing the consequences may lead to the ultimate disaster. You may be outcasted from the group, or be condemn.  Just think for a while, if you are lost in a jungle and found a small village of jungle people. They bring you in and they all are eating raw fish and hate eating cooked fish, you suddenly jumped out and tell them that they are eating the fish the wrong way and you introduce your cooking method to them, will they listen to you? I mean it is the right way to eat a fish, correct? But to them? You are consider saved by them and they accepted you in their village and now you are trying to tell them that they are fools and their way of eating are wrong? It is like spitting them in the face, it is their culture. Their believe maybe that fish are brought to them by the gods and wishes them to eat it raw, but you insulted them. You insulted their gods. You insulted their believe.

In the modern world, this situation exist. We thought that we are civilized, we thought we are on the top of the world. But we are not, we are still what we are 1 thousand years ago. We do all this to protect ourselves, We label the RIGHT thing that we consider RIGHT, we label the WRONG thing that we consider WRONG, WE . Where is the ultimate truth?

Who can ultimately judge what is right and what is wrong? 

Do we blame it to GOD?

I learn that we may only need to speak up when we are needed to, we do not need to tell someone he/she is right or wrong all the time, sometimes it is best to let them be. It will be better that way, for both parties, for everyone. If everyone in the world may hold this, there will be no war or arguments, There will be peace. But the truth is always NO. Human are born with a greed, which is the human’s ultimate weakness, even Lord Of The Ring stated Human’s weakness is Greed. The one that may overcome greed will always be happy and lead a better life and a humble one.

To survive, we need to learn when to use the so called RIGHT thing and stand for it. When it is important to use it and when it is not.
