We, humans, have a weird instinct of categorising things and people into boxes. Usually these boxes are tagged as Right and Wrong. The differentiation between what's right and wrong is secondary but what's foremost is the reason and the experience that one gains from it. Though it's okay if you do a good deed and forget about it. It's even fine if you do a bad deed and forget about it. The lesson that a Right and a wrong thing or action is accompanied by is the only thing that should be linked on the very soul of the doer. In simpler terms it is the experience that one should not forget from any action done in his/her past. So, let's not forget what we have learnt through the extreme lessons of life and should try exploring more and keep learning.
