Right, or just self-righteous?

What's wrong with the many other things that friends, family, society and officialdom declare to be inappropriate, incorrect, immoral, improper or just plain sinful?

As long as you don't kill, lie, cheat, use drugs, sleep around, verbally assault or physically attack somebody, nothing is wrong!

Who is to say what is good and what is bad, or what is acceptable and what is not? It's simply a matter of how we're conditioned, tainted with prejudice, framed and hypno¬tised by our family upbring¬ing, education and working environment.

Some people don't even realise that they have biases and prejudices. I'm one of them.

I admit that I've given a transvestite and a gay couple "the look". I admit I thought an "Isaanlooking" girl with a male farang was a hooker. I admit that I tried to talk my female friend out of a relationship with a man nine years younger than she was.

Who's really wrong here? Me or them?
