Surprises in niches

Smoking the local brand of cheap cigarette and wheezing between puffs, a sprightly middle-aged gentleman who'd give any rock star a run for his money while sifting through strands of philosophy and physics in his ragged clothes and smack-cheap plastic slippers slipped this food for thought to me some time back: "....I have long abandoned judgments of right and wrong and morality. I'd rather ask 'Why did you do it?'...."

Now, if people would expand the dimensions of thought, life would seem so uncomplicated just due to this one statement....interesting ponder, isn't it?

its difficult to say what is rite or wrong...life is full of greys..seeing things in black or white does not work very well...

Umme, I agree with you that life is at times sprinkled with grays...the going gets tough when we try imposing our blacks or whites on that gray.
