iNTROSPECTIVE…

We all try to think of ourselves as nice, good people… But no one can ignore their past mistakes. I always say, “The only people without skeletons are those without closets.” I mean the only people who do not have some imbalance in their pats are those who do not have a past. I may come off as a pessimist here, but I speak from experience.

How do we define “GOOD” and “BAD” or “RIGHT” and “WRONG”?

Something that is good, may not necessarily be right, and something that is bad, may not necessarily be wrong. And in the same way, something that is right, may not be good and something that is wrong, need not be bad…

Right and wrong are mostly our perceptions. Each one has his own ideals and principle and value system that defines the right and wrong for them. So, the right and wrong will differ from person to person. It is in the concept of right and wrong that the grey shades of life emerge. It is the times of human behavior and circumstances that we cannot define as being right and wrong. It is mostly because our emotions do not support out thoughts and there is a clash of concept. A third person, who does not comprehend what the person in question is feeling, can mostly define the shades of grey into right or wrong. And that’s when we judge…

Good and bad is more of a literal concept. Once again, good and bad is relative from person to person, but people with similar belief systems can relate their thoughts in such situations. There are no grey areas here, but they are just indecisive…

I have dabbled amongst the grey shades in my life quite a bit till my mind cleared itself of emotion. And I have tried to keep a sound value system for all my actions and decisions. It doesn’t always go in favor of my emotions, but I have learnt to strike a balance between what my heart says and what my mind commands… But a lot of times, the heart wants what the heart wants… I have made my peace with that too.
