A Story about Right and Wrong

I will neither write about a technique today nor about any skill. Rather, I want to tell you a story. I told this story while explaining something to a gentleman who came for a Pin-Point Solution Session (one-to-one session) with me. This gentleman is a very clever and honorable person. He asked me to repeat this story, and while I was repeating it, he wrote it down. While writing this, he told me that this story would be very fruitful for his future life. I am going to share that story with you in this blog.

This story took place in a small village that was very prosperous. One day, the village had an earthquake, and it faced destruction. But no one lost their lives; everyone survived. No person had any harm, but many homes and shops collapsed. The day this calamity happened, the chief of the village, along with his wife, had travelled to some other place due to some work. When he came back, he saw that the residents of this village had created homes using clothes that were earlier made up of stones. He also saw that people were eating while showering. The food that they were eating was getting wet because of the water, but the people were still eating the food. Then he saw that the people were wearing their shoes in their hands, and they were walking barefoot. The chief could not comprehend what had happened.

After that, he came to know that because of the earthquake, the water from a specific well had become bad due to some chemical reaction. Because of this, whoever would drink water from that well would start behaving like a mad person and would misbehave. Slowly, he realised that everyone who was drinking water had started to behave like a mad person. And even though he wanted to stop this, he could not do so because everyone became used to drinking water from that well, the same well that had the contaminated water, which was making everyone misbehave. Slowly, the whole village became mad. After a few days, this situation grew so much that, except for the chief and his wife, everyone in the village went mad. And the villagers started to say that the chief and his wife were mad people and were misbehaving and eventually started to force the chief to resign by saying that they wanted their chief to be clever and sensible like the rest of the villagers.

The chief was confused about what he should do next. Then he had a thought, and even though he did not want to execute that thought, he executed it. He and his wife drank the water from the same well and started to behave like the rest of the villagers. The villagers were very happy because of this, and every one of them said that now the chief felt like their chief. And they did not want him to resign now.

The moral that I have taken from this story is that-

Something does not become wrong just because fewer people do it,and something does not become right just because most people do it.
