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.

Thanks for reading guys

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.

I remembered the first time I encountered electricity, nobody told me about it and I insert a small iron into a wall socket, it was truly a shocking experience 😆 but I learnt the lesson the hard way; it's totally wrong to play with electricity.

I have observed one thing about this issue of right and wrong; a lot of people say something is wrong if they see other people saying so and they say something is right if a lot of people say it is, and sometimes even the society is wrong but most people wouldn't want to be on the minority that is opposing the majority

Hahaha. Most of us always learn the hard way. Many things we see as wrong are mainly subjective.

Hmmm, honestly, for me, wrongs or rights is according to people or societal perceptions. However, some things are naturally wrong as they seem to human nature, so also are the right things.

Take for instance stealing. It is against human nature because it doesn't conform to the human spirit naturally. But helping people does bring joy to the heart in a way.

That's it. We are as sacred as we can be. We are naturally good. We only choose to stray.

It's an important and difficult question you arise in this article. As I see it, right and wrong are values based on a model of the world and ourselves we have (often subconsciously) created in our mind. This model is, by necessity, subjective. There is no such thing as "universal values", everything,including the definition of right and wrong, is subjective. This model, however, can be a practical tool for facing reality and maintain sanity and self-control - but it can also be a cage keeping us from realising our full potential. I don't think we can or should live without values, but we must be aware that we are defining them ourselves, so we control them instead of letting them control us.

That's the point mictoranni, thanks for the input.
