Seeking Redemption !
What is right or wrong ? Who decides what is right and what is wrong ? Can our actions be objectively classified or is it subjective ? Can we afford to create a world where everybody is either Black or White and we sit and pass judgement on their morality ! Is it feasable ? Isnt it claustrophobic and suffocating and an attempt to curtail the mind which knows no bounds , our ability to learn - experiment with truths .
There is no right or wrong in this world . Barring a miniscule percentage of the people ( who are really abd i.e dont posses a conscience ) everything one does is circumstantial . We are the way we are because of our upbringing , our circumstances , what we have faced in life or what we will face in future - which is different for everyone . Then how can we justify a common code of conduct ???
All human beings are shades of grey with their own set of faults and weaknesses . But they do have something else too - A conscience . It is this conscience that tells us what is right and what is wrong . It is our own judge ! It forces us to seek redemption at some point in time - when ? cannot be answered - cause time is dimentionless !

I agree. We should have a conscience, our inner voice, the only thing that can lead us. But the real issue is that as we grow, we stop listening to that voice. And one day, without realising, the voice stops. You do not hear it any more.
PS: You should write more. Maybe that book too.

Hmm ,true i must confess.it is tough sometimes to decide what is true and what is not :).
The conscience is very very important,the day it dies the very essence of you being there dwindles :(
