Recently I came across a class of people who are firm believers of relativity and the concept of reference frame. According to them there doesnt exists anything which is absolutely right or absolutely wrong. This discussion about right or wrong was going on over a dinner table along with drinks and most of us including the speaker was considerably drunk. So at that time I couldnt really find any vulnerability in this statement.

But later, with possibly better realization, I think we are living in a world where there are certainly _very_ few people who truely grasp the concept of relativity and that of reference frame, ofcourse me being in the majority.
Not that the word relativity here has anything to do with "The Theory of Relativity" technically, but conceptually or psychologically it might have some relation which I couldnt figure out yet. So its better to consider _generally_ right as right and _generally_ wrong as wrong in most circumstances especially where it has something to do with the interest of the _general_ else it might turn up into cheap hypocricy to hide weakness/cheapness.

Although somewhat irrelevant, but I always used to think that I am a supporter of modern education/thinking but somehow now I think I am quite back dated from the point of view of mentality, because I am really sick and tired of artificial people trying to follow Dale Carnegie blindly.
