What is right, what is wrong?

One always says, this is the right thing to do this is wrong. Stealing is wrong, donating is right.
But do all of us believe in this right wrong principle? I think donating is not always right. If one donates to a trust, and demands his name to be flashed. It's not right. Donating in that way is wrong.
So is there anything right or wrong in this world? I certainly don't think so.
To test the right or wrong with your peace of mind. If you do this, it gives you your peace of mind? Go ahead. No? Back out now.
How do you know all this? The answer is conscience, logic. Not high logic. simple plain reason and logic.
We all have an inner voice, which is called conscience. Some hear it aloud, some can't. But it is very much present in all of us.
Now, lets be clear with the help of an example. Is Attachment is right or wrong? Some perceive attachment as love. But it ain't so. Attachment is when you cannot function without that individual. Love is where you can.

Attachment=selfishness+love
Love=Attachment-selfishness

When people perceive attachment as love, they say attachment is good. But the truth is, attachment is no love. Many don't even know the difference between the two. Cannot accept there is a difference between the two. Cannot segregate attachment and love.
Once they do that, there will be peace.
Peace of mind is the litmus test of doing right or wrong.
Hence nothing is right, nothing wrong. As long as it gives you the peace of mind each of us deserve.
