Decision making...


-->

Have you ever experienced the feeling of not being able to judge as to what is wrong and what is right? Where to draw the line between the two extremes? Do they necessarily mean judging something/ someone as either black or white, or there’s a mysterious grey matter that exists between the two?
Well, I’ve seen myself dumbfounded and clueless at times judging something wrong or right. Isn’t this question highly relative in nature, because a perspective of an individual can be totally different from that of others? What may be right to you may be wrong to me, but then why don’t we decide something in terms of universal perspective. A viewpoint, as vindicated by the sufficient sample of population. But does that necessarily mean that what is right for some society should be universally right and applied to everyone. For example, consider a village of lunatics where in a traveler enters only to find himself being cursed by all for acting strangely (in the usual human manner). Now who would be called as wrongly blamed or rightly cursed???
There were times, when correctness (or lack of it) was visualized by elders in Indian homes. What the elderly people of a family would convey would be taken as the right thing for everyone, without anybody questioning it. What mattered was who is saying it, and not what is being said. Elders were the decision makers and everything was tagged ‘right’ whatever was quoted by them. But now, we see a huge shift in the way we tag things/ people/ situations. Now the priority has moved to making your own decisions and adjudging what is right and wrong. People have now started paying attention to what is being said, and not to who is quoting it!!! Isn’t that again a paradox in itself, when we have those pillars who has seen all the ups and downs in life, battling against youngsters ready to apply mind and logic with no or almost negligible experience???
Do you have any clue to decide what is wrong and what is right? Is it the moment that decides your decision variables, which ultimately define your wrong or right? Let me know if you got answers…
Enjoy!!!
