Recently we watched two shows as a family and what followed was a wonderful open discussion on what defines actions as right and wrong, true or false. While there is no black and white in life, we often find ourselves holding views and opinions that put us on one or the other side of a fence.
There is a growing awareness that all of us are conscious beings united in love, yet as humans we have grown conditioned by rules ; some familial and some societal. It will be easy and a tad " holier than thou" to say we need to be unconditional in our thinking all the time. As our own kids grow, we teach them ways to speak, sit, stand, distance to maintain via being respectful of person or relationship, and more, which as they grow they question and choose to follow or not follow. Society too has invisible rules and lines that fade in and fade out in different ways and under different circumstances and events.. How does a human then hold his or her own non judgemental, unconditional stance when it clashes with the rules and lines of society? The world knows enough men and women who are glorified or condemned based on which side of the line people are. However that is not the question or comment.. The question is if a person who chooses to live life throwing caution to the wind so to speak, or rather chooses to live life on own terms, are they always comfortable in their stance or do the invisible lines of the human world challenge their thoughts and stance?
Nothing is right or wrong , it's all perception. but in the world of different perceptions and the resultant questions, the strife towards " just being" the way one wishes to be is interesting and so unique to each person and their sense of harmony.
