WRONG or RIGHT?

Nothing is ever wrong,
things, acts, people,
simple vibrate
at different frequencies.
Problem: some thoughts
and acts cause pain to others,
and that seems wrong
so we act on what ‘seems.’

I've suffered much of such perceived 'wrong';
spent a great deal of time
attempting to make
perceived ‘wrongs’ into ‘rights’;

I sought justice: who doesn’t?
But the more I strove for it,
the more it eluded me,
Why?
because I sought it in a way
that was pleasing to me
using judgement, and force:
the world had to adapt to my beliefs,
How could I ever be ‘wrong’ in my feelings?

Reacting to so-called 'wrongs'
is not accepting what is, or was.
Attempting to change the pattern
to a more personally pleasing image
ignores the others’ will in the process.
There is a better way: who knows it?

The concept of right and wrong
Is a matter of perspective
The tight action from one
Can wrong someone else.

I’ll trust my justice,
To be judged by a higher authority.

Very indepth writing. Personally, I believe the worst "wrong" is causing someone else hurt and pain. No matter what the reason, there's never an excuse for it even if you've been hurt yourself. To me, that is the ultimate wrong...causing pain.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a mean person at all. In fact, I am really sweet until you do me wrong! I have to say though that I believe in an eye for an eye...If someone insults me I am going to insult them to let them know how it made me feel when they did it to me and hopefully they will learn how to be nicer.
