Beyond right and wrong.
What do you think is right? What do you think is wrong? What are your perceptions of right and wrong? What are the things that define whether something is right or wrong? Society? Religion, personal beliefs? intuition? Nature?
As kids, we were told by our parents not to put our hands in fire. Sometimes they needn't even tell us not to. We realise that it is wrong when we put our hands playfully and immediately withdraw when we feel pain. This brings us to another very shocking reality we love in as adults. Just because something hurt us personally, does that mean it's wrong?
Just because we experience blockages in our energy flow when hurt, challenged, put under stress or duress, does it automatically mean the causative factor is wrong and, we who feel the pain are right?
We feel love towards a person, enjoy their company and all, but the time they say something we don't find cool or something that seems like an attach to the false self image we create for ourselves, our hearts suddenly close towards them. We feel like they've done something wrong and some of us may even direct that blocked energy from our hearts into their own hearts, causing the same blockage we had in our hearts by either insulting them, calling them names, or becoming overly dramatic.
The truth is that we have no right to determine what is right or wrong through other people's action towards us, or through what we see in society. Of course, they are general natural laws that control human behaviour but in my opinion, these are only wrong so that a balance can be maintained in nature. When we close our hearts towards others or towards a certain group of people because we think that what they did or are doing is wrong, we are only closing our hearts to ourselves because the perception of a closed heart is limited to the perception of the mind, then we label things right or wrong not because they truly are, but because our belief do not agree with them. Thus makes us love in our mind rather than in the world and that's like defying your very reason for existence, which is to experience and appreciate life. Instead of enjoying the experiences life has to offer, you withdraw into your own shell, hurting yourself, fighting both yourself and reality and in such a fight, you will never win. You keep up hurting yourself over and over again until you start feeling that the whole world is against you and them you either get depressed, sick or anxious. You're always free to have your take on what's right and what's wrong both never you try to impose it on others. You will only become a self - absorbed, selfish and inconsiderate person. Even if you think a person is wrong. You have either of these choices: to discuss it with them or to let them find out on their own. Sometimes they tend to get more enlightened when they find it out on their own this way, it would be out of experience which as we will all agree, is the best teacher.
Do my people, we should always bear this in mind. You're not your mind. You're not your emotions. You're not your thoughts. These are all things that accumulate through past experiences that create a rather false perception of yourself. What you see as right and wrong are just things that disagree with those voices in your head which most definitely has nothing to do with you. You're something more. You're supreme. You're that being that watches all these thoughts and emotions and that's what you should always do. Watch them and dissociate from them. You are here to enjoy life and you should always do so no matter what. You're only here for a small amount of time, make it worth it.

Personally speaking, right and wrong are ideals that basically everyone, if not everyone, understands. These thoughts appeared to be among the essential elements of our more complex thinking, and hence difficult to be appraised from simpler ideas.
