Right and Wrong

I've been away for very long and have not been updating this blog entries.
Though I doubt if anyone actually noticed this or not.

Recently I've been reading up some of the "news" and comments in the Stomp. There have been comments of which is as if the commenter is a Saint and could not have done any wrong. Judgment was passed based on a different morale value which if anyone are able to adhere to that, would surely be an enlightened monk or a god.
In fact,a colleague of mine condemns us and says that killing an ant is a wrong thing as they are just performing their own task in this world. Around one week later, he is the one which engage a Pest Specialist to help get rid of his bed bugs which have infested his house.
I believe, most of the people around us are like this. If it does not affect them, this Godly Morale value will apply. If it affects them, there will be tons and tons of "valid" reasons to support their actions.

For example, the Jack Neo's incident. The girl knew of his marriage. His wife acknowledge his infidelity. He, of course enjoys it. Who are we all to say what is right and what is wrong for them to do these? Sometimes, I do wonder, if he come out clean and just tell the public that "I'm having an affair with her and my wife allowed me to do so. You all have problem to accept it, then that is your problem. Not mine!" Would all this have gone down easier? Why do he owe the public an apology?
However, what I really want to comment is not on Jack Neo. What I wanna comment is on Ah Nan. For those who does not know who he is..... He is the normal Gangster face we will see in Jack Neo's movies. There is an article in Stomp that accuse him of acting like a gangster in the press conference by Jack. Who would not be pissed by the way the reporters are acting on that day. Even a normal person would have flare out on the reporters. But these "Saintly" figures all come out and try to make a big fuss out of all these incidents.

So, who is the one to deem someone is doing the right thing or the wrong thing. For me, there is no absolute right or absolute wrong things. It always seems right to the person when he does them. Go and watch Law Abiding Citizen. :p

Well, I do notice you haven't update your blog for a while... And I also agree with you.. He does not owe the public appology.. Other than his wife and himself... When he appologizes to the public, i think he just treat that as an act... As I do not see him have any obligation to appologize to the public... Anyway, it is good to have you back...
