One of the beautiful things I learned with growing up

One of the beautiful things I learned with growing up, which I wish I knew long before, was that everything in this world should not necessarily about Right Vs Wrong. It's not necessary to prove other side wrong just to prove yourself right. It could be simply "being different."

Like for instance, if a person wants a divorce, it's not necessary that the other side has to be wrong or bad. It could be simply a matter of "being different." If I don't like something, it does not necessarily that the thing I dislike is wrong or bad. It could be simply "being different."

However, we culturally tend to see everything around with a scale of being right or wrong. We try so hard to justify our preferences, our beliefs, our principles, our tastes on the ground of Right and Wrong, whereas it could be simply put as "differences."

I had that tendency as well, and albeit still there, and I have been working on. Relatively, I don't anymore see everything that I disagree with, everything that I don't like, everyone that I don't get along with judgemental eyes of Right Vs Wrong. I don't need to.

More and more you understand life, world and politics, its culture and history, more you realise that there is no one set of rule that fits all, there is no absolute truth that seems true for all, and in this diverse world, complex human psychology, tastes and preferences, why make everything about right vs wrong, when it could be simply about differences.
"We ain't same bro," is so plain and simple moto to carry in life and enjoy the life without feeding negative emotions.

"Let's agree to disagree" is so gentle and calm moto to carry in conversation.
We humans love to talk, love to find meaning, give meaning. We are here to say what we believe in, do what we believe in, and while doing so, one need not necessarily try to prove him/herself being right and others wrong. Accepting the differences, and standing firm and being proud of being different should be the way.

Time to kill the culture of judging everything based on right vs wrong.
