Reality

       A few days back my younger sister bowled a googly. Owing to my incompetence in deciphering the delivery in a professional manner, I was clean bowled. The googly question? She apparently wanted to know the way we differentiate between what is right and what is wrong!!

          And I was in a fix. Even if my peer group calls me a geek (no, i am not!), from where was I supposed to extract knowledge to be able to give a convincing reply? Wouldn’t you agree with me? 
No copybook knowledge that was rattafied over the years came to my rescue. With this, self introspection was given an impetus and I was shifted in my contemplation mode.

           Isn’t it true that we all have our own definition for right and wrong? We all have our own pair of sifting glasses on all the time 24*7 from which we sieve the right and dump the wrong. And we all have our respective reasons to categorize these things. Our criteria are set. A set already perceived notion that may or may not be based on our own past experience or lessons learnt by others taught to us time and again ifluences. If this is how we classify the right and wrong, then how can we brand the other person’s notion? Our right maybe wrong for some and their right, our wrong.

         It all comes down to our perceived notions. Living in a free world we all have been brought up in certainly distinct surroundings, under the influence of starkly different conditions. This has a detrimental effect on our perception about the world. It’s seldom that two person hold the same view in everything. Then we must agree to disagree and give respect the other person’s view. But I know, it’s not that easy to practice as it is easy to preach! Our egos are huge and we usually don’t appreciate the word wrong. After all who likes to be wrong when there is an easy way out to be right!. Is this right or wrong? I leave it to you to decide on that.
