Wrong?
Wrong!
Left?
Wrong!
I am talking ‘right’ as understood in ‘the right thing’.
Here’s my observation. Opposites change depending on situations. So, indeed the opposite of ‘the right thing’ can be ‘the wrong thing’, but very often not. So then what else?
Opposite of ‘right’ can very often be ‘organized’. How? Stay with me.
Wrong things, organized well, feel right. And then, since they are organized well, folks come to appreciate the ‘organization’, the visual quality of ‘organization’. But ‘organization’ simply means that someone has put one’s mind to ‘organization’ of things, not necessarily the ‘right’ things.
O, I feel the first resistance surfacing in entertaining this… But ‘right’ is subjective, one would quip instantly.
If ‘right’ is subjective, the ‘wrong’, the natural opposite of ‘right’, also must be subjective. Let me leave this strain of thought with a simple question which can addressed on another day, “what is objective?” Or let me add, everything that’s made has some limitations. Views of the greatness of these limitations can end in debate.
Back! ‘Organization’ or ‘organized things’ or ‘organized options’ or ‘organized whatever’ make the onlooker run through the ‘organization’ to find and try the ‘right’ option for himself of herself. Having expended such an effort, one starts to feel the ‘rightness’ of the effort and transfer that ‘rightness’ to the thing picked or chosen at the end of the effort.
But just because mind has applied itself to organization of things and mind has applied itself running through the organization of options to choose an eventual option doesn’t make the things ‘right’.
‘Organization of things’ swerves the mind away from ‘rightness’ of things.
Come to end of it, my friend. Explain in some other way; I follow you but I don’t follow you.
Take my favorite object: Shoes.
Countless shops sell shoes and footwear of all kinds. Typically these shops are so well-organized. Step into a shop and the mind feels thrilled at the prospect of running through the variety and options and trying some to find the ‘right’ pair.
But what if all the well-organized beautiful looking shoes are of the same wonky shape that screw your feet (and your sprightliness)? O, but that needs some education in seeing and understanding the anatomy of feet? Or that needs feeling through the bones of the feet? Or that simply needs tradition, fashion, status symbols, history, and things organized based on those factors?
Let me assume you followed the argument and got it somewhat in spite of my rather pathetic theorizing.
And assume that my arguing led you to see and get the ‘right’ thing. Now what?
Having found the ‘right’ thing, what next? After the ‘right’ you can’t find the ‘righter’ or the ‘more right’!
‘Right’ is the end.
‘End’?
What happens after ‘end’?
Rebirth, restart, resume, renew… After the ‘end’, all the ‘re’ begins. But that a thing that ‘restarts’, does it ‘re-end’? Does it ‘re-close’?
What!!! You just wrote ‘re-end’?
O, yes, if a thing can restart it very well can re-end. Re-finish. Re-stop. Re-close.
After you get the ‘right’, you find the urge to ‘restart’. Respire. And the ‘right’ falls into the cycle and chance of ‘restarting’, and move a little away from ‘right’ towards wonky and reorganization of wonky and picking the ‘right’ thing from among the great ‘organization of wonky’.
Find some holes in the above. Worm into my thinking. You have my Whatsapp, right? Right!
What is the opposite of ‘fundamental’?
