Laurell K. HamiltonI used to think I knew what was right and what was wrong, and who the good guys are, and who the bad guys are. Then the world got very gray, and I didn't know anything for a long time
About This Quote
When we were young, we all think we know what is right and wrong. We know who the good guys and bad guys are. After a time, however, we begin to realize that there are no good guys and bad guys. We become disillusioned and lose sight of our moral compass.
We start to think that everyone is just as selfish as we are and that we really don’t have the answers to the problems in this world. However, in this quote from Oscar Wilde, he says that in reality, there are no good guys or bad guys. There are only people with different points of view.
