I have thought of this umpteen number of times, but always kept pondering over this thought of mine. Let me just share it with everyone who is reading this post.
On what basis do we justify any action? According to me every action has its own pros and cons. And this is when we look at it from a very broad aspect. Any act committed by any individual on this planet will result in someone’s loss and someone else’s gain.
To explain this let us take two very extreme examples
· Giving birth - Now when say a mother gives birth to a child, the child’s family is happy, but that is when we look at it from a very narrow point of view. No one at that point of time will bother about the population growth and the harmful effects in the country’s development. None of us think that there are thousands of mothers giving birth to a child on the very same day, not bothering whether its their third or fourth child. Each family is rejoicing individually but who will think from a wider spectrum. I am in no way condemning this act. I just want to convey my message taking an example where in I want to depict that even a noble act like this has its own advantages and disadvantages when thought from a global aspect.
· Death - Similarly, even an act like terrorism or say a natural calamity, things that we pray should never take place, when seen from the world’s eye, has a two way picture. We all agree that deaths are something that none of us want, because none of us will like to lose a loved one. But this is the nature’s way of maintaining balance. Had it not been terrorism or say a natural calamity, it would have been something else.
Thus basically what I am trying to convey is that no act can be defined as right or wrong. Its nature will vary with an individual’s perception. For me when I abuse or I hit someone, the act is justified but for the opposite person it is not. Similar concept suits everyone in this world.
Frankly speaking, I do not know how many of us will agree to what I m saying, but I just wanted to put down what I felt. Thus for me every action has its own definition and cannot be defined as right or wrong.
