How many negatives make up a positive? Would you like to classify a good deed as a reflection of a positive streak or rather the lack of negativity. As the preaching’s go on to become a belief, your mindset tends to transform into a self defying natural pattern, trying its best to distinguish “good” from “bad”.
The harsh reality of life forces us to chalk-out acceptable behavior into positive domain. The remainder is virtually split into two shades of black. The solid black, translates into negativity and a gray subset, which is actually a major component. The gray area is a blend of negative deeds with positive intent or it could also be defined as, positive deeds with an underlying negative intention.
The real world scenario makes it very difficult to put good and bad in air tight compartments. No deed, in itself has the making of goodness and nothing in itself, can be brandished as inherently bad.
Situational emphasis tends to mold our ideology, thinking in a particular fashion, only to suit our social values. Thus life is a blend of diverse deeds, best classified based upon their acceptability.
