What is Right

Daily writing prompt
What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

A very vague title but it is something that I reflect on everyday.

All my life I have been told what is right and wrong by my elders. I am grateful to their guidance and protection. It definitely has been their wisdom that has kept me in one piece till today.

But I have realized one thing. Nobody has all the answers. And sometimes the right answer for someone ends up being the wrong answer for you. Every circumstance is different and each persons reaction to that situation is different.

I have learnt that there is no one right way to deal with a situation. You cannot expect to have the answers to every circumstance. You need to make your own right choices. There can also be times when the right decision you made once has now become wrong.

Yes, You can sometimes take the advice “helpline” but it is up to you to decide if that is the right choice for you. But more than anything, you need to be open to the idea that the real choice is not what is right but what is best for you.

  1. “There can also be times when the right decision you made once has now become wrong.” That hits home, and I’ll be thinking about it the rest of the day! Also thinking about how what was once right may not be bad-wrong—just no longer useful or happy-making or whatever else. I think I’m probably dwelling in this gray area. Anyway, loved this. Thank you!

    1. Thank you so much! 🙂 It took some time, but I realized, that when we give up on what is right or wrong and focus on what is best, we tend to hurt others less. Also, we hurt ourselves less too.
