Relatively speaking

Bernard Shaw said in one of his essays, "Good or bad is relative."

What seems good to one generation need not be so for the next. This is what is change and civilizations thrive because of it. However, when a collective group thinks of something as good, then perhaps it has very little scope of being bad (collective wisdom and all that new world jazz).

I personally feel that we should legalize all activities to have lesser crimes. The mind always wants to do what it is asked not to. Let there be law but no legalization. The concept sounds funny especially in the context of what we call henious crimes but hey, whats wrong with testing?

I guess I need some sleep now (upstairs are half baked delusions of an insomniac).
