Right or Wrong

It is really chaotic.

Looks like there is nothing called right and wrong...nothing called good and bad. The goodness/badness that you decide just depends on the kind of knowledge you have. Ideally, if one were to know everything, he would never be able to choose anything as the 'right' thing. The world is too complex and chaotic to be able to put simply in terms of right and wrong. And behold! we have been taught the reverse till now!

For Ex:
Everyone calls Osama a terrorist. But for him and his supporters, he is a 'leader' who teaches America a lesson for the crimes they did. Now, your answer would just depend on whether you sympathize with him or the US.

And what about the discussions we do often with friends, family? Everyone thinks he or she is right. And there is nothing like an entirely rational argument which would win everybody. BTW, even the laws of logic are also based on the level of knowledge humans attain. We are all emotional. There are beliefs which refuse to go away. So what do you do?

I came to this conclusion : Do whatever you want. Understand in your own terms and act based on proper(i.e proper to you) reasons. Whatever you do is the right thing.

(Mind you, this comes at a cost: you would not go on trying to explain to others....making you more and more silent, you start observing more...and start blogging more !)
