Buddhism is not about [[Right and Wrong|right and wrong]]. What are 'right' and 'wrong'? They are merely constructs of the intellect. In Buddhism, we emphasize compassion instead. What is right today could be wrong tomorrow; what is love this morning can turn into hate by this afternoon. This is because thoughts are impermanent.
If you base your life on right and wrong, or on winning and losing, it is a sign of a lack of compassion and wisdom. Instead, if you dwell in compassion, you are on the right track.
What is compassion? It is looking at someone’s suffering instead of judging whether they are right or wrong. Instead of judging a person because they are judging you, do the exact opposite: refrain from judgment and say, 'I see where you are suffering.'
Rather than accusing others of being wrong, focus on the suffering behind their behavior. Compassion is not simply 'feeling sorry' for someone. It is looking at them and understanding, 'Where are you hurting? Oh, this is what causes you pain.' That, my friends, is true compassion."
