Is that Negative or Positive?

Aah, got a good topic to scribble for the blog due to some recent conversation with one of my friend.
A baby started growing and now he is 2 years old. He is hardly able to talk few words.... His parents told him, don't eat dust. It is not good. He don't know what that mea...n as he is hardly aware of the words for communication.. He asked mom, what is good... Mom replied, something which is not bad, is good always. What is bad, he asked... Mom is confused how to answer this...

Mom showed a dog chasing another cat and told the kid, this dog is bad.. So, the kid learned that, the one who is bullying others are bad. Similarly, the parents of other kid replies to their kid for the same question, pointing that the cat is bad... That kid, learned that, the one who is running away scared is always bad.

So, the point is, what is +ve or -ve (good or bad) is in the minds of the people, not the object. It is purely subjective... Society frames a rule and says, this is good and this is bad. To live in a society, we need to know the so-called good and bad in that society.. For buddha, the one who doesn't fight, is the winner, the peace is ultimate. For krishna, who wins the kurushetra is the winner and urges arjuna not to scare away.., the peace is ultimate.

Good or bad is in the minds of the people. One more short story...

I know a guy who doesn't know tamil words, who is from north india visited some part of southern india. A passer who used to scold every one on his way in REAL bad tamil words. When all other local people got agitated and shout at them back, this north indian guy did not utter a word even... I admired his quality... Later that day this guy got agitated with his fellowmate who hails from the same place. Oh my god, what is happening here. I saw this guy did not reply to that mad man this morning but now, it is absolutely shameful...

I deeply ponder over that and found, in this guy's mind there is no bad words (related only to tamil). But lot of such bad words related to his local language in his mind... So, he is not aware of what the mad man scolded him.... So, i conclude that, whatever we say as +ve or -ve is not in the object we look at. It is inside us only... When i say, positive about others, i love them. When i say -ve about others, i hate them... The other one is same as usual...

It is me who is loving earlier, is now hating other... It is not other. Tell me one person in this world who hates other say something positive about others. Never yaar... Alright, don't want to bore you much... If any topics pass through my mind, i will write one more....
