Have you ever look at a construction site and see how long they took to lay the foundation for the building and after that they can complete the whole external construction in such a short time?

Well, this is because the laying of strong firm foundation is critical in anything we do.

What do I mean by laying a Firm Foundation?

In recent years, I have opportunities to talk with various academics and students from various universities and was quite shocked at the teaching they have embraced.  These people discussed with me that there is “No Right or Wrong” in this world and we should accept everyone as they are.  As I did a research on this ideology, I found that it has spread like plague into different countries and society.

The whole intention of this idealogy was good which emphasis on accepting people for who they are, but the whole concept of “No Right and Wrong” is completely nonsensical!

If there is “No Right or Wrong”, why do we need government or educational institutions?  Everyone can do whatever they think is right.  Just imagine a world with no authority!  It will be complete chaos!  In fact, this is precisely what happened in society.  We can see the escalation of youth problems, civil unrest, families problems, and so forth.  All these are the results of this ideology of “No Right and Wrong”!

So if there is Right and Wrong, then what are they?  How are we going to embrace that value of acceptance and yet holding firm to the fundamental value of the existence of “Right and Wrong”?

To discuss into this, we need to understand some definition of words which are critical in our communication and understanding of this issue.

Everyone can take in knowledge, but each will develop their own perception of that knowledge.  This is due to the background, values and so forth which helps to form the knowledge they attained into something they embraced.  It is often difficult to change a person’s perception, however, we can help them to go back to the basic fundamental and let them arrive at the right perception which is conducive for healthy development.

So over here, we can see that we need to understand about the word “Perception”.  Different perception does not mean there is no Right or Wrong in this world.  it simply means the different responses that was form due to individual understanding.  However, we need to accept people with different perception from ours.  Accepting people with different perception is not about embracing their perception, but accepting them as a person.  In short, it is about the concept of “Agree to disagree”.  It is about giving the person time to know and understand Truth.  So what is Truth?

I did a research on TRUTH and was quite shocked that not many people was able to define it in a convincing way.  I have thought about it and has came out with a diagram to explain what is TRUTH which I believe a large population of the people in this world inspite of their background, ethnicity and religions can embrace.
