They are not wrong!

We often label others based on how they behave or the choices they make. The moment someone acts differently from what we expect, we quickly label them ‘wrong’. This habit creates negative energy exchange between people, leading to emotional turbulence.

SUBTLE ACT OF CONTROL

The judgment often comes from a subtle desire to control others. Controlling others is one of the biggest blocks to the natural flow of love and harmony.

It is important to understand that care and control are two very different energies. While care provides the right energy to grow, control takes away a person’s freedom. And the truth is that no one likes to be controlled. From early childhood, we are controlled in the name of love or discipline. Elders may feel they are guiding for the safety of the other, but it’s worth asking: are we truly guiding them or wanting to control?

FREEDOM TO BE DIFFERENT

Family, culture, religion, society, and even workplaces unknowingly create cages around individuals. These invisible cages often leave people feeling exhausted, constantly watched, and judged. We might believe that our control is an expression of care as we don’t want anything to go wrong for those we love. But life is not meant to be perfect. Everyone must have space to make mistakes, learn, and grow.

We can always offer guidance, share our opinions, and express care. But if others don’t take our advice, that doesn’t mean they’re wrong. It just means that they think differently. They are not wrong — they are just different. Their decisions may not always be sensible, and that’s okay. We don’t need to rectify everyone. We only need to understand ourselves.

SOULS PLAYING ROLES

People seem wrong to us only because they don’t fit into our personal definitions of right. But right and wrong are not universal — they are shaped by personal experience, upbringing, and perspective. When we label someone wrong, we send a strong vibration of rejection that can deeply disempower them.

Let us shift our focus. Instead of trying to change others, let us take full responsibility for just one mind: our own. Once we bring peace and clarity within, we no longer feel the need to fix others. We can respect different views even if we don’t align with theirs. We can share our understandings but never impose.

This world is a grand play, with every soul playing its own unique role. No actor is entirely wrong or right — they are simply playing their part. Let us play our role sincerely and allow others the freedom to play theirs. The world becomes more beautiful when we start enjoying the play just as the director does!
