Right or Wrong?

If you haven't noticed, our lives evolve around this question: right or wrong? Principles, laws, religions, systems... They give people the sense of what is right and what is wrong.

There is nothing WRONG about this. It keeps order, promotes harmony. People will, therefore, judge unconsciously, even if they SAY they are open minded. How can one be truly open-minded when one has the prior mindset of what's right and what's wrong?

A balance has to be struck and the RIGHT balance will be following what should be RIGHT, tempered with compassion. In this way, the rules set to keep order and harmony are more sensible and flexible. So don't be too hasty in judgement. Be a bit more open-minded as there is always more than one perspective.

Unfortunately, I guess I lack the compassion or I have unconsciously or consciously blocked it out.
