An action cannot be right just because I am inclined to perform - TopicsExpress



          

An action cannot be right just because I am inclined to perform it.. Nor can it be wrong because it is being performed by someone whom I do not exactly see eye to eye.. Right and wrong are relative, one may argue, but still when there are a lot of people walking around on this earth in addition to me, some basic truce on what is right or otherwise has been evolved over time.. and the terms and conditions have been followed by the majority, and such terms should be and are usually accepted as working agenda for our own peace and peace of others. Coming to think of it, marital fidelity, parental responsibility and even fairness in life and having generally accepted manners and lifestyle, are all part of this truce.. And often, as we evolve as a group, many of the traditions attain the force of law.. And some even assume that such laws have the endorsement of God It is not difficult to ponder over these facts and accept them at intellectual level. But at emotional level our animal tendencies tend to raise their heads.. and the rational in a man is defeated by the impulsive.. In a group, be it family, professional colleague, co patriots.. and so on, we have the advantage of being pulled back to realities of life when we tend to wander off.. But for some in social media, there are no bars attached.. Except an arrogant muddled mind and the keyboard, and a lighted console or a mobile screen perhaps in a dark backdrop. This is an issue that should attract our attention .. Are we going back to the jungle? But even jungles have their rules..
