Is there no good left in this world? Has evil finally taken over in the guise of goodness? I think this is the case. For in this world that we live, bad things are not bad and good things are no longer good anymore.
A thing which is bad must be so inherently evil that every manifestation of it should always reek of vileness.
And a thing which is good must be so inherently divine that every manifestation of it should be virtuous in every sense.
But alas it is not so. For some may think thieving is a bad thing, but to the thief who sustains his life from it, it is a mortally blessed thing, for he would go hungry if he does not do that. To him it is not bad.
We may punish the thief taking it is a good thing to do, but is it really good to punish someone who did what he did only to sustain himself?
I personally have no compassion for thieves or robbers or anything conventionally bad, but sometimes, I wonder what is really bad and what is really good. Is cheating on someone bad? What if I have a good intention for it? What is bad is not bad and what is not good is not good.
My mind is in dilemma. Are we truly that far from being a righteous being, have we all become the minions of evil, where bad things are not bad and good thing are not good? Have we altogether lost the true path of the goodness?
Every being on this world believe that whatever he does, its ultimate goal is goodness. If he cheats in the exam, it is to get good marks so that he gets a good result which in turn helps him get him a good job which in turn will sustain his family in a good way. Doing a good thing which has ‘cheating’ as the base of it, is it really good, or is bad? It is neither, for what is bad is not bad and what is good is not good.

thin line tht separates good n bad
who decides what is good n bad for me
I myself or others who view it from the other side of the glass
or is good n bad as simple as binary 1 or 0
n ya thnks for telling me tht u'll be there
sometimes u really need someone telling you that
hope this frndship blossoms
we grow up ..we do many things...
what we shud really develop is a wise quality to distinguish between what is gud n wat is bad..
this certainly will not make someone a thief..n by sayin he lives by commiting burglary ...
thr r people who hv come up frm being a dry leaf to a fresh fruit..all they hv done is 'takin a gud decision'..
but sometimes we do land in a dilemma as to decide wat is gud n wat is bad..but as i said the power to decide lies in our measure of 'wise quality'
happy bloggin!!
@dhruv
Is there really a demarkation between the good and the bad? Do not they blend with each other in perfect unison that it is quite impossible to distinguish where on begins and one stops.
@luke
In the good world, yes what you are saying will be true, a good will always remain good and bad will always be bad. But we live in an evil world where bad is not bad and good is not good any longer.
@kiran
We grew up in the sea of lies. We believed what we were made to believe. Our concept of good and bad is based on the flimsly pillar of our ignorance and the web of lies that other weaves in our ears.
well cheating on exams isnt bad .. but cheating on others is [ya intention does matter]. Well aint this world .. a world of confusions. So no surprises tht ur in a state of dlemna.
And thts not bad as well cause u cannot be hardcaore on any term ... u need to be flexible & think abt it in diferent perspectives .... and according to tht nothing & noone is bad.
