While talking to people i have observed they tend to judge others very quickly. They like to give a tag to everything & every person. Either good or bad, right or wrong, hot or not but i just wonder whats the basis of these judgements? How can we put a tag on something/someone when everything around us is changing?
I feel there is a huge craving in all to be certain about things or people around although we are not sure if all is going to be same in the next moment. I find it to be very bounding, rather i would like to be free & take things or people as they are. Its fun to observe the variations around yet having lots in common because deep down inside we are all the same. Same things give us pleasure, same things makes us all sad. So whats there to judge?
Is it to show off our superiority over other???
Hard question but need a thought...
I hope that people can acknowledge this fact, relax a bit & just smile. So that we can enjoy the similarity hidden in dissimilarity.

@ joseph the points you have made here are all common sense. Nothing new, they are fair in itself and don't need any agreement or disagreement. I have already made my point clear in my previous comment. But if you don't get it, it is not my problem.
Plus,the comment upon which this entire discussion is based or started i.e THERE IS NOTHING EITHER GOOD OR BAD, BUT THINKING MAKES IT SO"is not mine.
Please read carefully next time before applying your own interpretation to it and make sure you understand in which context it has been said.
I appreciate your views about moral right and wrong as well but i would like to assure you that there is no controversy about it in the first place.

dear@eternal me, i appreciate your time and effort to post comments in here. My point behind this article was to point towards people's attitude to judge other people in general based upon their preconceived notion or beliefs. It had nothing to do with the pervading moral values or legal laws of right and wrong in the society.
Apart from that the comment upon which this entire discussion is based or started i.e THERE IS NOTHING EITHER GOOD OR BAD, BUT THINKING MAKES IT SO'"is not mine.
Though i don't owe any explanation to anyone regarding a comment posted on my article but since consequently my article is highly misinterpretation i am bound to add a small clarification. People are free to agree or disagree.. :)

dear all ..THERE IS NOTHING EITHER GOOD OR BAD, BUT THINKING MAKES IT SO"is not even mine. ..i am quoting it from a very renowned novel Hamlet by Sir William Shakespear Hamlet Act 2, scene 2, line no 239–251 Hamlet is a prisoner of his own thinking, and of his knowledge that his stepfather is a fratricide and his mother incestuous. When he states that "there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so," he's not indulging in ethical relativism as much as wishing for blissful ignorance. He's also implicitly damning the naïveté of the king's new yes-men.

this quote can be further explained as ,,,good and bad are just words
we as people give them meaning
so something declared bad by one person could very well be declared good by another , In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.Shakespeare used his mind But he neglected to believe that the spirit is more important
The spirit is eternal.YOU CAN THINK
THAT THE SKY IS MADE OF TWINKIES
BUT DOES THAT MAKE IT SO.....GOOD=LOVE WHAT IS GOOD
BAD=HATE WHAT IS GOOD
TRUTH=TRUTH
HATE EVIL ONLY=TRUTH

beauty is in the eye of the beholder that means to each his own meaning of things and matters whetever is good for me is bad for others and vice versa good and bad are subjective in this world
so it is not thinking that makes it either or, it is rather the person that does the thinking that makes it good or bad

In one person's eyes killing a dying person is merciful. In another person's eyes it's murder. I agree with it. It is perception that makes things what they are. Good and bad are terms individuals apply to things. With people, for example, nobody is absolutely one or the other, nobody considers themselves absolutely one or the other (who thinks they themselves is evil?), but other people make them that way,in other words Good and Bad are relative.

There is good and bad. Man cannot identify them using his mind alone. So, he has to be taught the good and the bad. God has taught us. His word is Quran. He'll raise us to life, after death. And he will bring us to account about what we did on earth.
We have got only one chance to see the distinction between good and bad. The chance is, this very life we are living. Once we die there's no coming back.
God is great (Allah-hu-akbar) and is just. Do you think he'll treat the good people same as the bad ones. No!! Never!
People telling us there's no good and bad and it's a matter of perspective are misguiding us and are misguided themselves too. They belong to hell. God has made this clear.
Please read Quran. I urge.

it doesn't matter what i or any other person think. It is about what you think about it? Can you justify such act? If not then it is more than enough. You don't need to prove it to others.
Each individual is responsible for his/her acts and its consequences thereby. You can not justify anything as heinous as rape..
"Do not do to others what would anger you if done to you by others." Always remember the Golden Rule....
