Arrow Nothing is good or bad-our thinking makes it so

"Is it good?" "Should I do it or not, I think its bad?"

These questions often enter our mind when we think of doing something. Isn't it? What I think is nothing is good or bad its only our thinking that makes it so. For instance, going for late night parties is considered bad by some of our societies but there are certain societies which considers late night parties as their entertaining source because they are too much busy in the sunlight to enjoy.
What are your views?

I agree with you 99.99%!

Very true. Its our perception that makes us think of right or wrong! Nothing in this world is defined. Even some really bad things are right if the cumstances or our state of mind calls for.

Well, if we want to genralize it then we can say that something is kinda bad if it hurts someone. But that also it crazy in a place where a very openminded guy ends up in a conservative society.

So Neha you are correct! ^_^

On an idealogical level, I agree with you. Afterall, Good and Bad are just concepts invented by the human mind.

What is good and what is bad, thats classified by us based on a couple of things -
  1. internal morales of the individual
  2. preconceived notions of the individual
  3. peer pressure and society
So, at a very macro level, one can always say that Good, Bad are just terms for our fancy.

Personally speaking, I would disagree with my own logic (no, I am not suffering from multiple personality disorder). I always believe that for any action that an individual does, he does so based on his own morales/beliefs/values. Accordingly, he will classify the action as good or bad. e.g taking someone's life will always be bad. Period.

Good bad has nothing to do with a unified logic. Everyone have their own way to deal with the things and have their different logics. But wha decides for us, the good or the bad, is perhaps the atmosphere we live in, the society we inhabit. As said by Neha, late night parties might be a great deal of comtemplation for some one while is hardly a matter of seconds to decide for someone else. Gender also decides certain things specially in a country like India.
What I reckon is everything (almost) is rightt if followed in limits and done at the right time.

Nice Quote Neha,
Dont think whether it is right or not,
Just do as it goes, and dont plan or feel even it happens bad,
Just go as fast as you can , decide confidently, most propobaly it will be good only a low percent of work will be bad, so dont Think too much,
Just ask once yourself , is it good, then without hesitation do it , sure it wont be bad.

Sure this helps you only in Good ... lol...
Thanks & Regards,

Well, I think it depends on what you are deciding upon good or bad...if its your thinking then it completely is decided by your values and offcourse by attitude....for xample..say Sehwag ..he will always play wrong shots..irrespective of whethr he is playing against aussies or desh...or in worldcup or gully crcket.....but thts him or may be his thinking...

so here comes the part of logical thinking....and illogical thinking...i read somewhere in above thread a pt about Terrerist...boss I will tell ya thts d BEST example of illogical thinking... whch relates some jihadism...(whole crap) to a weak mind.......well i will leave it there only..samjhnewale ko ishara hi...

And lastly but not d least at all..I think 99 times a logical thinking is "good"..

but offcourse..we r humans and errors are part of us..so there comes the role of BAD as neha mentnd.

what do you think guys?

it depends on what u define logic as and good as

as i said above ... for u jihadism might be illogical but ask the jihadis ... they are ready to die for it ... and mind u dont limit urself to just 1 segment .... if u had seen the news recently ther was a hostage situation where a guy held children as hostages demanding better facilities for the street children of his area ... is it logical, is it good, how would u categorize this incident
