Intellectuals for ages have been saying that, there is nothing GOOD and BAD, It depends on how you perceive it and how you act upon it in different time and perspectives.
Here is a short episode of conversation in a religious ceremony that shows how a question you ask matters in the reply you get!
Ram and Shyam are attending a religious service.
Shyam wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying.
Ram replies, “Why don’t you ask the Priest?”
So Shyam goes up to the Priest and asks, “Priest, may I smoke while I pray?”
But the Priest says, “No, my son, you may not. That’s utter disrespect to our religion.”
Shyam goes back to his friend and tells him what the Priest told….
Ram says, “I’m not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try.”
And so Ram goes up to the Priest and asks the same question in different way, “Priest, may I pray while I smoke?”
To which the Priest eagerly replies, “By all means, my son, by all means.”
Moral : “The reply you get depends on the question you ask”
