Right vs. Wrong

Once upon a time, man walked the Earth with no preconception of "right" or "wrong". He did what he wanted and when he wanted. As man began to develop his knowledge for his surroundings, he began to evaluate. Evaluation is among the higher levels of intelligence, much higher than memorization. By evaluating, mankind collectively discovered that there were two ways to do things, the "right" way and the "wrong" way. At first he figured it out for himself, which was good, but as it was passed down from generation to generation the "right" way became the only way. If you did it any other way than the "right" way, you were wrong. People began to fear being wrong so much that they stopped trying to be anything but "right". And while they were acting with accordance to being "right" they did so in such a timid, insecure way, for the slightest mishap would cost them ridicule. Thus they stopped adapting the "right" way to their own preferences.

What does it mean to be right? What does it mean to be wrong? Is it satisfaction we are after? Most arguments arise solely on who is right and who is wrong. We have seen ourselves and each other argue over the dumbest, most insignificant things, like the "right" way to cook something, or the "wrong" way to iron a shirt.

I encourage you not to worry about the "right" or "wrong" way. Just do it YOUR way. Your way should be uninfluenced by whats right or wrong. Instead it should be decided by you because of the way you want to do it, regardless of what people may say. Your way is right to you. Your peers will scrutinize you because you don't do it their way, but that's just the way society is, and we can't change that. We can only change ourselves. I want a world where there is no right or wrong. There is simply 'do'. Where there is no right and wrong, there will be no discrepancies.
