The idea of right and wrong is often a social construct rather than something that comes from within. Growing up all these years, we tend to fit ourselves in the much-expected social frames that define us, our character, and status. Few things get engrossed so deep that the Right becomes the Bright and Wrong becomes the Dark.
Do we even remember when was that moment when from not being aware of righteousness of right we simply entered the watertight frame and began doing something that is simply expected?
I clearly don’t, I wonder if you do!
Also, when did right and wrong mix up with truth and lies! I see people understanding or using it interchangeably. Practically none of these find importance. What it really does is our convenience to bend the norms and rules. For that sake, even God and faith have been bent at the whims and fancies of conveniences. Forget about friendships and relations.
Ifs and buts, true and false, truths and lies are clearly constructed to keep one satisfied and to acquire a convenient and dominating place. The moment a boundary is hampered, new norms and dimensions dig in! How easy indeed!
But then is it being true to yourself? Leave the world, what it is to be so comfort derived in a relationship that being truthful to oneself is left far behind. Once the boundaries of right and wrong are crossed, the level field seems to be perfectly fine. It seems to exist beyond those said and unsaid customs. I advocate no right no wrong. But I do advocate being true to oneself. It is okay to bend those set parameters for once pleasure is most wanted. But then how can one be guilt-free if one is not true to oneself.
I fail to understand, we claim the bonds and threads we tied to. And justify all our wrongdoings. Nothing really matters at all. But what does, is to be true to your soul!
Let’s dig in one time, “When was the last time you were true to yourself?”
