satori, Japanese for what is usually translated as "enlightenment in Zen".
I find the word .. enlightenment .. too long here in the haiku, it disturbs the smooth reading for me, so I use the Japanese.

I wondered if the quotes add anything, although it's occurring to me that maybe it's a way to point out that "wrong" is sometimes a matter of perception...

indeed, "right" and "wrong" ... they should be in quotation marks at any time ! to make us humans stop and remember who made these decisions ... grin ...
Is the sunshine right or wrong ?
Is the moonshine right or wrong ?

Gabi,
"enlightenment" has so many assocations in English, especially
in relation to "the Enlightenment" of the 17th-18th centuries, that I
think "satori" is the best choice anyway.
Most people who are likely
to read real haiku will understand it.
A friend.
