RIGHT

Someone was right when he said; people would sit all day in front of a wooden magic box and enjoy their days just watching it. Someone was right when he said; water would be sold in packets and bottles around the world one day. Some one was right when he said, earth was round, and sun was the centre of universe. Someone was right when he said, by the end of this decade we will reach the moon. Some one was right when he said I can break the one mile in less then four minute record. I just wonder sometimes, how can those people be right today, when every one else around them believed they were wrong.

I was listening to Bill rancic, winner of the 1^st season of APPRENTICE show, his new audio book, “you are hired”, after being hired by Donald trump, one of the business tycoons of today, Bill said when in school, he used to color outside the lines as and when he felt necessary, he would make the figure big or tall as it would seem more appropriate and he believed he was right, every one else at the school including his teachers thought otherwise. Teachers continuously asked him to color within the lines but he didn’t. All he did was whatever seemed appropriate to make the picture more real. Was he right or were the teachers right. Interestingly, it’s the same schooling system that teaches us to color within the lines, also teaches us to think outside the box. What’s right, coloring inside the lines or thinking outside the box?

When facing each other, your right is my left and my front area is at your back, who’s right. What’s small for me is big for you and short for me is long for you, who’s right. When a poisonous fly and honey bee get the same nectar from the same flower and one produces poison to take lives and other makes honey to save it, two of us see them and one blames the flower and other praises it, which one of us is right. Two men look outside the window and one looks down and says what a polluted view, and other looks to the sky and says, what a wonderful view, who’s right.

Is it necessary that someone has to be right all the time, cant two people be right at the same time at the same moment while thinking upside down. Are we born with a right to be right, is there something wrong with accepting being wrong sometimes, but above all I just cant understand why we altogether need to judge at the first place. Joy is better then Lisa, Who cares, tom is superior then Jim, does it matter. I just don’t understand why there is a need to judge something or someone at the first place.

A hardcore criminal may still be a loving father or husband, a poor sweeper may be too generous at heart, when we label, we just see one part of the situation and that’s it. What we see is what is and that’s right, there cant be any other thing, Stephen covey in his book, Seven habits of highly effective people shares a wonderful paradigm shift example of two ships in the middle of the sea and captains telling each other to move their ship out of the way, Both of them thought they were right and other ship should move out of the way, they just saw one perspective, they believed that they were right, but when the captain of first ship said, I am captain of this Battle ship and therefore I am ordering you to move out of the way of this battle ship, in his thinking he was very right, but when the other ships captain said, Sir! This is the captain of Light house and I request you to please move your ship out of the way, the captain of the battle ship suddenly understood and moved…. Situational “Right”

It’s all the game of perspective, and we never have complete perspective about any thing or any one that we can claim that we can judge it. When two guys in the jungle heard a lions roar nearby, first guy started to run, thinking that he can run fast and try to outrun the lion, probably he was right, but when he saw the other guy, quickly putting on his running shoes, he was puzzled, Why you are wearing this, it’s a big jungle, we cant outrun the lion, the guy with the running shoes on said, I don’t need to outrun the lion, I just have to outrun you, and the whole dynamics on the ground were suddenly changed immediately, Changing “Right”

Robert G. Allen, in his audio book, Nothing down in 2000, gave example of two guys looking at the same piece of real state, first guy sees and empty wear house that is not even properly kept and maintained, the other guy sees a opportunity to redesign the place and make it a fully functioning automated ware house, being right and wrong is just a matter of perspective, a limited perspective. When a guy jumped out of a running train and lost his hand, every one said, he was insane, but when they realized it was a father who jumped to save his kids life, he suddenly became a brave and courageous man. “Right” in different perspectives.

Kim is good at school but not so good in games, while Ron is good at games but not so good in school, they both do well in extra curricular, their dad thinks, Kim is better then Ron while their mom thinks, Ron is better then Kim. Their dad is a college professor, and their mom is soccer coach at a local club, they both see things from their own perspective, But grandma says I love both of them equally, they are both great, I love them for what they are and not what they do, who is “Personal Right”

We all live in a world and we see world with a filter,

So all the truth we encounter is filtered i.e. situational or with past perspective.

But actually the Truth just “IS”,

It never changes, it just IS

But they way we see it does change,

And what we see, we make it our truth

Sometimes, we first make our truths and then see the situation accordingly

Other times, we just view it with our own colored lenses

And mold it our way

And it then becomes

Our truth

Our Right

And when we have the RIGHT

Every one else must have the WRONG

So that we can stand out and say that we have the RIGHT

Or at least we are RIGHT

Are we?

Is it necessary that if I am right, someone else has to be wrong? Is it necessary for us to live in a bi polar world where every north has a south, every tall has a short and every right has a wrong, or in our case, many wrongs and sometimes, all wrongs. The bipolar world creates an urge to dominance, an urge to be right and sometimes this right takes a disastrous turn, where the only way to be right is to prove every one else wrong, and negative energies channel in the world causing fights and wars

Can we just look at other persons views and say, yeah that’s a interesting point of view, never thought in that way, Can we let every one live by their own rights unless that right is causing harm to someone else, can we search the eternal RIGHT that lies within all us, right inside, the DIVINE RIGHT, that just IS, doesn’t need any support or evidence, just plain truth, as Jibran once said

THE TRUTH THAT NEEDS THE PROOF IS JUST HALF TURE…

Was he right ?
