Right or Wrong?
The other day, I took a break from my hectic work ( I know you don't want to believe it, if you were to extrapolate my last few months).It was quite late, the cubicles in my floor were filled with some of my fellow compatriots who were giving their contribution to increase the revenue of youtube, some were appreciating the CG abilities of online games, some were enriching their networking abilities through Gmail and Orkut and there were others like me who self proclaimed the liberty to talk about anything.
One of my colleagues had remarked, as to how one person took the license to treasure two long hours to watch friends series in the office. It was not a kind of surprise to me because I had on one occasion cherished a four hour limit on the friends series in office. I could empathize with him, I confronted “What is wrong if people can amuse themselves with such activities when they have no work or deliverables".
My colleague acknowledged as to how even he had found such Time Relishing Tactics (TRT), but he would not prolong it for more than half an hour. He said it was not fair to do such non-value adding activities for such long durations in office. I knew that the only way people find respite for doing certain ( I am being conservative) dirty jobs is by regaling themselves with such offline (non-value adding to the business).If I can speak for myself I find it offending to kill boredom and all I can do is to procrastinate or dissipate my frustration only by such activities. I can neither complain of the work because that is where Indian companies are in the value chain.
I was traveling in my friend's car enroute to meet our undergraduate friend. It was really intimidating to watch four people packed up in a two wheeler. Both of us dissented, as how foolish those people were, without any respect for safety. I offered my opinion as to how they could not afford a car,the had the necessity to travel faster amidst the state of public transport. Everybody had their own reason to judge whether something was wrong or right.
How often are we caught up with ethical dilemmas and moral judgments?. Pre-marital sex or divorces do not undergo the same moral judgment as in the western world. Does it mean that people in the western world are a whole bunch of unethical people?. What kind of moral judgment flourishes our mind when somebody quits a job for the want of money, what is wrong in subjecting ourselves to higher valuations in the market.
What was perfectly right to me was absolutely wrong to somebody else although each of us had valid reasons. Each of us had our own definition or measure as to what was right or wrong. The proportion of the activity had determined the outcome of the judgment rather than the signs of the activity itself.
We are more often influenced by the judgment of the pertaining societal guidelines as well. I felt that the framework for moral judgment is determined by the individual freedom or constraint to think or act about the same. Our judgment of right or wrong most often reflect the liberty of our mind, conditioned by the past, the experiences of the present and our willingness to give a chance for the same in the future.
There are no rigid rules to what is right or wrong and it is more determined by the dimensions of our mind and experiences. Is there something called half right or wrong?. Is it possible for something to be perfectly right without being wrong?. Is it always possible for something tobe right or wrong for eternity?.Who am i to determine what is right or wrong?.Can i live without judging whether something is right or wrong?
