Right and Wrong
Sunday, 25 November 2007 8:51 pm
Humans like to differentiate clearly between right and wrong, don't we? But can everything be differentiated so clearly?
When a relationship fails, who's right and who's wrong?
Take an example of the most common scenario, the existence of a 3rd party. Let's not talk about guys who ill-treat their girlfriends, but cases where the guy did nothing wrong.
He may did nothing wrong, but did he do it right? So again, what actions or things are counted as right?
The girl who left him, is she wrong? It is the selfish nature of human beings to seek for their own happiness. If the other man can give her more happiness, is it wrong of her to go to him?
Everyone has their own definition of happiness. Some people think that money and material goods are the measurement for happiness. Some people may think otherwise.
I guess relationship is not about right and wrong. I think it is about what you have learnt about relating to your partner, and most importantly, about yourself.
So the next time you yourself or your friends encounter a breakup, probably you can ponder about the rights and wrongs. Hope that this pondering will help you or your friends to move on quicker instead of putting blames on whoever.
