Circle only has one side

Today I listened to a song, many times, which makes me reflect. I found this song on my desktop by chance, its name is "Side" by Travis, do you know them?

The song has a pleasant rhythm and some verses are awesome, I report some of them, which impressed me very much:

..." We all live under the same sky
We all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side"....

I was thinking how many times we state what is normal, right for us and regrettably sometimes we make sentences like a judge or we put some life styles down, but we don't see when our behaviour isn't very correct or weird, in the end if someone acts in a strange way or an unconventional manner it couldn't be a problem if they aren't doing something which could be dangerous for themselves or for the society, what right do we have ?!
Who can say which is the right side, maybe the left side ?
it's truth the "circle only has one side"
Human being is tough, and every one has the right to be what they wish.
Of course in front of some horrible and crazy facts, like young boys who kill other teenagers or pedophilia we have the duty and the brave to charge the authors of some nasty acts because they don't mean to be "strange" or searching our street in a very exclusive way.

The lyrics say "We all live under the same sky" and it is tremendously true and my mind goes thinking about Oscar Pistorius the Paralympic champion runner, I don't share the final decision of leaving him out from the next Olympic because it's really hard to understand the reason: he takes advantage with his artificial legs.
Can you say this to someone who hasn't got their both legs since they were a child !
It was better to say something like: oscar Pistorious keeps our awareness, we need new
rules, we are not prepared and we hope to write them just right for the next Chinese Olympic, it will be our commitment!

The life is sometimes dramatical weird....the circle only has one side and we aren't circles.

What do you think about?
Thank to Zsofia for her corrections

@Top
Thank you

@Agnese

The idea is to develop an English speaking corner and to get my friends to leave their comments in English, however everyone can write in either Italian or English
Thank you for your comment

Hi Puntino!

Thanks for your comment and corrections! You've been very kind!
Many of my mistakes are silly usual ones, i try to learn the right way every time but it seems they are already deeply rooted in my head!:-/
