Chuang
address the following questions: “Suppose you and I argue.
If you beat me instead of me beating you, are you really right and am I
really wrong? If I beat you instead of
you beating me, am I really right and are you really wrong? Or are we both partly right and partly wrong? Or are we both wholly right and wholly wrong? How does the belief and distinction of right and wrong
regarding the truth lead to conflicts?
In
Chinese philosophy, Chuang questions the right and wrong between certain situations.
In the following passage he tries to examine the difference between the two
people’s rights and wrong, and their version of truth. Since there are varies
of opinions and beliefs of ‘the truth’, it concludes with conflicts among
people, cultural groups, religious groups, etc. Chuang tries to tries to
demonstrate in his analysis why “there is no room for arguments”, due to the
fact he analysis how the difference between the right and wrong does not
conclude into a belief conflict. While examining this passage, I concluded that
if the right is discovered, proven, and evident and understood the wrong should
be disregarded – which leaves “no room” for arguments. However then the understanding
of the truth is hardly always perceived the same way. This then creates
conflicts between the different faiths and knowledge distinct by the level and
variety of experiences. This examination
can be applied to the concepts of religion as there are always conflicts
between religions regarding the opposite belief systems – “which religion
speaks the truth?” is the question often asked by the believers of followers of
religions. However Chuang addresses the concept of who is really wrong and who
is really right, as the truth is always different in every perception, thus
there will always be a distinction which will always lead real life cultural,
religious, etc, conflicts.
