Interpretation
One of the defining characteristics of this Universe is that there is nothing here that can be classified as absolute right or absolute wrong
Everything in this Universe is contextual…so much so that even reality & illusion are interchangeable
Mankutimma, never make the fallacy of pre-determining & compartmentalising things as absolute good or absolute bad. Unless have developed your senses to get the ability of deep analysis & introspection, things are often not what they seem...only then can you pierce through illusion that shrouds your eyes & mind. Else, often you may get tempted by things that you perceive as an elixir; but in reality, it is poison…be very careful
