THE GOOD OR THE BAD?
What is the right thing? What is the wrong thing? Well, I'll give you a small example of the right and wrong thing the society tells us. The one who attacks a person and takes their money is a bad person. Right? Well.... yes, but in my point of view (of course, that is bad, but) it is a grey area.
Let me explain. That person attacked because of his criminal mentality. Right? Yes. Does it mean that we don't have it? No, we all do. It is a primitive instinct. In early days we had to be ruthless to survive. We behaved like animals. Then we evolved and understood.
Even today we have it, to survive. If we are attacked by a person or by an animal we have to be cruel in order to survive. The problem comes when that instinct goes beyond a survival instinct.
Wait, one important thing in the society nowadays is that, comparatively the richest man is more greedy than the poor. The poor only want to survive but the rich try to gain more and more. This is not everyone only some people. But in our society, the rich are getting richer but the poor are still poor.
The second behavior he had shown is greed or necessity. We all have that instinct and we want it in small amounts or in other parts of life.
Greed is necessary to us in some cases like knowledge. We have to be greedy about it. The more greedy we are about knowledge the more beneficial it would be to us and to the world. It doesn't mean that we have to harm ourselves or others to gain knowledge or any other in that case.
Majority of us humans behave like this (the grey area) for the survival of our human race, our society. We, humans, have the ability to think and analyze and the majority of us seek the good thing and don't have the time to waste for the bad things.
I'm not saying that those bad people should not be punished or be freed. They have to be punished. What I'm saying is that we have to make less criminals in the future by rooting and caring the young sprouts and educating them to effectively make the choice that we all shall make in our lives - the choice between good or bad.
