“Sometimes what is right seems wrong, and what is wrong seems right”

Mikhail Gorbachev

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes we face situations where the correct choice isn't clear. Imagine a whistleblower who exposes a company's illegal activities. On one hand, it might seem wrong because they're going against their employer and could face backlash. On the other hand, it's right because they're stopping wrongdoing and protecting others. This shows how complicated decisions can be. Often, the right thing might not feel good or easy at first, but it helps in the long run. Remembering this can guide us to make tough decisions with a clear conscience.
