Perception

What is right? And what exactly is wrong? What I consider right may seem outrageous to you. And what you consider right may seem outrageous to me. It is all a matter of perception when it comes to it.
When you think about us, most of us think ourselves to be right, even if others deem us wrong. I think that perhaps this is the reason for most of our world's conflicts.
Most people go out to do what they see right, even if others see it as evil. We all have our own views. Some people go out, and kill countless innocents thinking that they are doing right, thinking they are contributing to the "greater good" when in reality what they are doing is downright crazy (in my opinion),
But in reality there aren't many people out there that are actually evil. Corrupt yes. Damaged yes. Crazed most likely but in their minds they see what their doing to be right.
Even Hitler. I know, I know he was "evil" but do you think he thought of himself that way? In his deranged mind he saw what he was doing was right and was helping the greater good. In reality it was a mass genocide that destroyed so many lives, for countless generations. I can see that it was wrong, I'm sure you can see it was wrong but he honestly thought he was doing right.
It is all a matter of perception.
Not many wars are one sided. Both sides are fighting for their own cause thinking they are right, but in the end it will be the side that won that ends up being "right" and it will be written down in history that they were right.
Even the most innocent of actions can end up in disaster. The greatest harm can result from the best intentions. If you meet a begger on the street who insists he needs the money to feed his family, you will probably give him the money, well if you are kind of heart. But the begger could then go and use that money to get drunk, get in a fight and in a fit of lunacy kill a man. The man being murdered is not your fault, but the harm did spring forth from your good intentions. If you had instead used the money to buy the man food the murder would never have occurred.
In a world as diverse as ours, with so many people and so many cultures who can really dictate what is really right and what really is wrong.
All we can do is stick to our guns I guess, and try not to judge others to harshly by their actions.

Giving you something to think about from Spain.

That's All For Now My Darlings!

Mwah!
