Is there such a thing as right or wrong?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Right and wrong are not fixed absolutes; they are fluid judgments that must be seen anew in each moment with awareness and spontaneity. True ethics lies in our ability to respond to the present situation, free from the chains of past authorities."
According to Osho, right and wrong are not fixed absolutes but fluid judgments that shift with time, context, and consciousness. Moral labels decided by past authorities become harmful when blindly followed today. True ethics is responsiveness: see the present situation freshly, drop rigid conclusions, and act with awareness, intelligence, and spontaneity, becoming genuinely response-able.
There isn’t a forever-right or forever-wrong—pay attention to what’s happening now and choose with a clear, awake heart.
