Good or bad

No art is by itself good or bad. It is upon the practitioner to convert poison into nectar or vice versa.✅❌

It completely depends on his thinking and conduct. Wherever there is demonism, it will produce anarchy and disorder. On the other hand, divinity finds good even in evil.💭

When guru Dronacharya was testing Duryodhan and asked the latter to bring a good man, Duryodhan could find none in spite of his best efforts; all looked bad to him.

But when Yudhisthir was asked to bring a bad man, he saw only good men all around. He kept wandering but could find no bad person; all appeared good to him.

This anecdote highlights the difference between two contrasting mentalities and viewpoints, and shows that it is a person's mental makeup that is responsible for judging anything, person or system, bad or good.
