Who do you believe?

If somebody says 'You must live your life humbly, without hurting anybody's emotions, earn a lot of money, live for others, donate the money you have earned with the efforts of your whole life and contribute to the society' sounds good??
And do you consider somebody is bad when he is egomaniac, self centric, lives for just himself, or abstain from social responsibilities?
What we believe, what we think, we make decisions about people.. our mind makes us believe that whatever we think or feel is the divine message of the holy GOD and has to be perfect. Our belief , our thinking is always the best. Nobody feels the way we do. ''Nobody is as good as me''. We judge the world with our eyes, without ever questioning our own formation.
How can anybody be wrong if you cannot see him with his perspective?? You say someone is wrong with your own senses, senses which are made up of your history, your culture, how you have grown up, what u have seen in your life.
Wish to judge a criminal who is going to be hanged ? You might had been at his place if you had lived in his shoes.

We feel proud after have studied so much, earning a good salary, running a big company pulling a lot of money. Considering what all the life has given us.. we look down at people who have not been able to earn much egoism.
Yes egoism is what we derive from knowledge/power/money. Although it can be easily contradicted by saying that the statement is easy said by someone who has not been able to do much in his life.
But how can somebody be ever right if he only can judge with his own perspective?
The answer to this question is simple... Nothing in the world is right or wrong... good or bad.. Everything only depends on the perspective you are looking from.

As my friend Ashoka says.. 'live humbly, there are good people around us'
I would go a step further and say.. 'never go on judging anyone, because if you can't be him, you can never correctly judge him. Everyone is right in his own ways'.
