No, you're not right.

However educated or spiritual you feel, you are no better than anyone.

However properly you claim to act, you are just as much a sinner.

However much right to teach you think you have, you know no more than anyone.

Age doesn't matter, nor experience, nor point of view, nor what you feel in your heart.

Nothing you say or do about others has any validity.

Do you close yourself off to these words by pointing at me: "And what do you know?"

No, I don't know.

No, I'm not right either.

For if I'm not right, then yes, we are all right.

Every age, experience, point of view and heart is right.

And if we are all right, whom will you prove wrong?

Whom will you teach, correct or point at?

Do you see, then, the truth in what you call a lie, and the love in what you swear is evil?

Do you see the perfection in what you perceive as darkness, and the wisdom in what you consider ignorance?

And when you feel you've understood, remember: No, you're not right.
