To distinguish you need to have a distinguisher.
To have a distinguisher the distinguisher should be different from the "thing" being distinguished.

If there is no distinguisher then who will distinguish, so nothing can be distinguished.

So this distinguisher is the "criteria of self to distinghish things".
I just proved nothing can be distinguished without the criteria of self to distinguish things.

How does a distinguisher distinguish things ?
He distinguishes based on his memory+intellect (including memory of education, experiences, biases, beliefs), ego (what constitue one's ego - likes, dislikes, attitudes, what i think i am),
mind (emotions etc.).

So the criteria that define a distinguisher are memory+ intellect,
ego and mind.
They are the same for all distinguishers.

If you do a detailed analysis then you will find the criteria of self to distinguish are the ones that constitute oneself - 'What I am'.
They are :

'a part and a whole','an equivalence and a uniqueness',
'a tie and a bound','an influence and a sensation',
'an origin and a derivative','a choice and a determinant',
'an intent and a fulfillment',

Many of our criteria to distinguish between right or wrong are shaped by the society, culture we live in. But then of course we all have our own personal values.

ur own mind-qualities / attitude decided most of the part and also the circumstances....

everybody's different and thats the reason everybody sees things and analyses them in their own way and i guess this is compulsory !!

just imagine everybody in this world having same mentality / attitude....wouldnt that be a disaster..??
so the point is to believe in urself ;-)
this is the criteria !!
