Human Limitations: Trying to Know What is Right

We as humans try to judge everything. We judge our president, we judge our actions and we even judge things that are not in our sense like judging animals that live in a completely different reality or judging nature. We think we know everything but the truth is we know nothing, this is what Socrates used to say to his pupils. Take a look at all the things you can do right now. You can stop reading this, you can read your email, you can go to sleep, you can go to work, you can throw yourself out of the window, you can do more than one quadrillion things. Trying to judge each action as right or wrong or thinking if you should do it or not is just like trying to judge the Sun for being yellow.

Instead of thinking your life as right or wrong, just think of “I did it” or “I did not do it”. There is no such thing as a right action. The right today can be the wrong of tomorrow, one word has a complete different mean to another person, some words are not even known to other people, and no matter what you do, you will always label it as “wrong” or someone else will do it for you.

Right now I just want you to think about something you want to do and instead of thinking if you should do it or not, just think of it as “done” or “not done”.

You are nobody to judge anything or anybody, not even yourself.
