When a person grows older each day, we'll meet different people in our lives... our paths may meet... for some a relationship is build and it continues for a long time, for a while. Then our path may not meet, but just cross... maybe its not our time to meet.
Today I had a meeting with my artistes, WL and YH... there, was a stranger, about 40s? Dressed in a polo white tee, and jean, very average, in fact I would say he was drunk from a distintive smell of beer from his breath. He said hello, and asked where I was from...he started a conversation about seeing the world, and about dance, about what I do for a living? and He shared about history and the society. I won't say I agree everything he says, but well most of it. Suprisingly, he mentioned he was a degree holder, and studied medicine, and he was sailor.
Though, the initial idea was to have a meeting, but the conversation just carried on. Strangely, he may not be a friend, but he was a good conversationalist, I did learn something or two, but i'm not saying he is right in everything... get it? oh..never mind...
Anyway...through this conversation, I recalled once, someone told me this, nothing is right and nothing is wrong. its mainly dislike and like.
I wondered if this form of describing right and wrong is...right?
I'm writing this because, drama... agruements...
I'm sure everyone of you has a found yourself in an agruement. Sometimes it gets so fired up, the relationship with the other party is soured.
I mean, if at any point of time, does one party does feel guilty and realise its his/her mistake, obviously the situation can be resolved, by saying the hardest word,"sorry", but sorry is not hard for me, if i know if i'm at wrong. otherwise I won't say sorry. Please don't take advantage of that.
In any case, should both parties are not sorry, is it because they both feel they are right... and the other party is wrong?
example
Boy A and B has an arguement, here are their thoughts:
BOY A
Feels A is right
Feels B is wrong
BOY B
Feels B is right
Feels A is wrong
or another example
A couple is seen making out in public, is it right or wrong? I personally feel its not right...I won't do it either, its an image issue, its an action in public, therefore TO ME, its not just about two people making out, its 2 people and an audience...But for some couples, this may be their way of affection, and they find not wrong in it...
With the above, I wonder... at this point, who is really right? and who is really wrong?
And does one feel its wrong, because society says so? or because of personal dislike or discrimination? who is to say what is right and wrong?
Personally, when i feel wrong... its wrong... cos' i was brought up that way...you can say society molded me.
But of course actions of people are also taken into consideration. I hope this entry isn't too deep? or too confusing...Or maybe you are wondering, mama g what are you trying to say? or ask?
I'm just wondering if anyone seen this side of things? And if yes... what's your opinion? do share with me... I find this topic very interesting.

Hmm. This topic is indeed pretty thought-provoking...
I guess ever too often we get too caught up in trying to distinguish things as either right or wrong; more often than not, because we want to put across our own points and opinions, which are based on our own individual beliefs and principles.
Even as self-less as we wish ourselves to be, human nature, I guess, is still pretty selfish. I mean, when it comes to opinions, it's still our own set of beliefs and principles that come first. I don't know if this is considered as selfish though.. but anyway.. Then again it's our principles that guide our behaviour in life and also our perspectives of things.
I would guess if we were caught in an argument, ego might rule our heads and we would be all too often, too hasty to prove that the other party is wrong, and we are right. But really, then again.. who is to judge? Who is right and who is wrong? We all have our own ways of seeing and treating and living life.
I guess a large part of growing up is about realising that there are simply too many gray areas in life that we simply cannot avoid. Yet probably because there are too many possible points of argument in life, that we try to create more stability and order, by coming up with definitions of "right" and "wrong", usually based on the cultures of the larger community we belong to.
At the end of the day, I guess it still boils down to the point that we all need to learn to take more than one perspective of things.. because really.. life is too fascinating as well as complicated, for things to only be classified as right and wrong.
Haha. Hope I didn't bore you with my long GP essay. haha. And just to add in something..it's your opinions of intangible yet very significant issues like this in life.. that makes up you, Mama. Take care =)
if everything can be classified at 100% right or 100% wrong, life would be kinda boring, wouldn't it? ;) how many times did we feel so sure that we were 100% right, until proven wrong by the other party? perhaps maths and scientific answers have definite answers and formulae, but moral issues and personal conflicts are more subjective. Often it is an issue of how open we are, and to what degree can we accept (the fact or the act). Well, as the saying goes, if all else fails, Truth will always come to light. ;)
