Can we argue about Right or Wrong ?

Right or wrong is a relative concept, depending on each person's perspective. In many issues, such as politics, religion, and ethics, there is no single or absolute answer. Buddha taught that people with wisdom will know themselves and do not need to explain to others. Explaining sometimes only creates more confusion and controversy.

In life, we often encounter misunderstandings and injustices from others. Buddhism believes that these things are created by our cause and effect. If we know ourselves, we will not be influenced by the words or actions of others. We will live with a peaceful and compassionate soul without trying to prove or justify ourselves. There are cases when there is a misunderstanding, an explanation is necessary to avoid further misunderstandings. However, explanation is not always necessary. If you feel that explaining may cause trouble or bring no benefit, you can skip the explanation. Therefore, when we are misunderstood, we just need to maintain faith in ourselves and follow the universe's law of cause and effect. We don't need to explain or argue with others. Time will clarify all truths. Right or wrong is not as important as whether we live happily or not.

There is an old saying: "If water is too clear, there will be no fish. If people are too judgmental, there will be no friends". Learn to be tolerant, help your life stay away from troubles; learn to give, and your life will be filled with Sunlight; Learn to let go, your mind will be at peace. Don't focus too much on explaining right or wrong, because in life we often think of ways to explain something, but once we explain, we discover that no matter who explains, they are weak and will defame themselves even more.

There is a very good philosophy that says, "If you look too far away, what you see will not be right. If you look too closely, what you see will often not be right. If you look too familiar, what you see will be even more wrong."

To live well, we need to learn to calm down and reflect on what we have experienced. Don't pay attention to other people's irrelevant things but focus on yourself and improving yourself. We also need to have patience and endurance, because that is a sign of a person with intelligence and wisdom. Don't think that you are a fool for suffering losses for others but realize that it is a way to accumulate good things for yourself. When we meet a gentleman, we should respect him, but when we encounter a rude person, we should not argue or be jealous. We should not be arrogant when we succeed, should not be discouraged when we fail, and should not complain or explain when we encounter difficulties.

Your value is chosen and created by you. Rarely do people look at you as a whole before criticizing you. The truth is often not as difficult or as easy as we think. The more people who don't understand you explain; the more unsatisfactory things they will create. Silence is the best choice.
