What's right and What's wrong?

Dear blog,

Our lives as mere humans are often marked by the decisions we make in our attempt to justify our existence in the face of the world. Famous painters namely Da Vinci, Picasso, Van Gough received wide admiration for the masterpieces that they produced. Some of these famous artists were not even known by the critics when the former were alive. Ironically, like many famous figures in history, their existence and their history were only appreciated after their deaths and lives marred by disappointments and resentment.

I believe that’s the ugly side of art. We take pleasure in the suffering of others and indulged ourselves in morbid fascination as so displayed in our daily interaction with the media. We gossip. We talked about spite. We laughed at the ridiculous actions of an ignorant fool rather than to correct him. We try to patronize people who are positioned lower than us. We sought after praises for any act of martyrdom that we expressed to the less fortunate. We take pleasure in seeing our enemies bow down in humiliation in front of us.We ridiculed the foolish comments made by a particular person just because we wanted to admonish such careless mistakes. We view and judge the world based on our own measuring tape and we would strangle anyone who refuse to accept it. We argue.We debate.We scorn.We jilt.But have we ever stop and think meditatively, are we suppose to do so?

I believe life is all about making choices. It is really a pity that we too are subjected to foibles.There is imperfection in every one of us. Our fallacious thinking are often constructed upon these reasoning foibles that we have and the personal experiences that characterized our lives. There is simply no right or wrong in the statements and opinions made by human. We are after all, confined within our own standard of evaluation, limited to our own understanding and knowledge about a particular matter.It is too bad that any people would agree on these opinions of mine.Then again, every one has the ultimate right over his/her principles in life.No comments, no sarcasm, no mockery of any kind that rob the conviction that I have for my own opinion!

Dear blog, am I mumbling to myself again?
