There's no right or wrong..

Sometimes, I think Lord Voldemort was 'right' saying -
"There is no such thing as right and wrong. There is only power and those too weak to seek it."
When you actually think about it, you'll understand how weird the concept 'rightness' or 'wrongness' is..
Why its not as simple as truth or lie.. The truth is a fact. but Rightness is a relative term.. hmm.. thats why...

You can't be just right.. you will have to have a set of rules which decide whether you are right or wrong. I find it interesting that even if you are telling truth you can be wrong.. on the other hand even if you're lying you can be right..

Also, to make it worse, its not even a boolean term like true/false.. you can be 'totally right' or 'kinda right'.. :) May be that depends on how closely are you following those rules.

From this.. I can see how difficult a job of jury can be..

whats wrong about a set of rules to decide whether I am right or wrong? :-)
Everyone has a different set and the law defines a general set.

To make this further interesting... if you remove your awarness of being yourself i.e. feeling of doer behind your every deed then nothing is right or wrong. You'll live as void enjoying everything ....
