A man seems to be speeding desperately to seek medical attention for his pregnant wife. In a split second a cat comes in the middle of the road, the driver quickly tries to avoid it. But the car swerves and hits a man, who later as we find is in critical condition.

Now I ask you: who do you think the culprit is?

The answers seem to conflict with each other, even as we talk about this situation where one may find the driver guilty, another may justify him. While many may say that the situation is to be blamed, and yet there is no single answer to it. This conflicting idea of justice has long confused philosophers like Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill and the man himself Friedrich Nietzsche as he goes on to say "There are no facts, only interpretations.”

This difference in judgement can be better understood by a term known as Morality, and further divides into Relative and Absolute.

A person who believes in absolute morality would suggest that the driver was guilty regardless of the intention.

On the contrary, a person who follows relative morality would argue that he had no bad motive

Interestingly, it is seen that many seem to follow relative morality but prefer to work under absolute morality. Judiciaries are built around rigid laws that pass on judgement based on the action rather than the situation.

This concept of morality does not seem to bind itself in situations like accidents or emergencies, rather it seems to carry over into our daily life.

For instance, when an employee misses a deadline some may condemn it as negligence. While others consider the circumstances behind it.

We tend to judge based on our own beliefs. An action that seems irrational for one may make perfect sense for another, showing how truth changes easily with perspective.

In the end, the question remains unanswered — not because there is no truth, but because truth itself is shaped by perspective. What seems right to one may appear wrong to another, and what is accepted as truth by some may be dismissed as a lie by others.

Perhaps morality is not about finding a single correct answer, but about understanding the complexity behind every decision. Because in a world shaped by perspective, what is my truth may very well be your lie.
