within fixed limits

Some time back, many people warned me that I am walking on dangerous grounds. What I want is silly and unrealistic. My question is, does anyone else know what it is that I wish for? Perhaps they only know from their point of view as to what my actions entail. However, they have no idea what my mind intends. Actions can be deceiving because interpretations differ from one person to another. Within fixed limits of understanding, people judge one another and believe themselves right. This is the real danger.

Everyone wants to be right. The human mind is obssessed with everything being either right or wrong. It is very worrying as a wronged view is often criticised and outcasted. I am not saying that murder is right. But what I am saying is that cultural rules are neither right nor wrong. There is a disparity between what is life threatening such as robbing another person and whether a rich boy marrying a young female clerk is acceptable by the standard of the society or not. We must not view all poor people as criminals just as we cannot condemn affluent families to be oppressors.

I think we should first free ourselves from mental conditionings and stop finding so much of pleasure from bitching about others.
