The truth is that nothing in your life is wrong, nothing is ever
wrong and nothing can be wrong. It's not even wrong to believe that
something is wrong. Wrong is simply not possible. As Alexander Pope wrote, One
truth is clear, whatever is, is right. Wrongness is in the eye ofthe
beholder and nowhere else. The perception of wrongness, however, is absolutely
critical to the perpetuation of the human drama, right up there with the illusion
of separateness and the certainty of free will. Drama requires conflict. No
conflict, no drama. If something isn't wrong, then nothing needs to be made
right, which would mean that nothing needs to be done. --Heights need not be
scaled nor depths plumbed. Wealth and power need not be acquired.
The belief that something is wrong is the fire under humanity.
Of course, wrongness isn't entirely imagined. A certain amount of tightness and
wrongness is hardwired into the human machine. Hunger is wrong, eating is
right; celibacy is wrong, seed-sowing is right; pain is wrong, pleasure is
right, and so on. But those are all biological directives, enforceable only
within the context of the physical organism, violations resulting in
progressively worsening discomfort and possibly death. Where, then, does
wrongness reside outside of our physical organism? And the obvious answer
is—nowhere. But if this whole existence thing is to have any dramatic element
to keep it interesting, it needs conflict, and so an artificial wrongness must
be inserted into the mix: Fear. One must fear.. and be afraid of wrongness..
