What is right and what is wrong?

Question

What is right and what is wrong?

Answer 1

ummm, the side that if you are facing north would be east is right

Answer 2

There is no such thing.  What is better and what is worse?

Answer 3

Right and wrong does not depend to yourself. Right is always right and so does is wrong. We must seperate both.

Right is what does good or best to others not to yourself. Not that you obey what is good for a bully gang but what can you sacrifice for the sake of truth, justice, and peace.

Answer 4

this is the never ending quest .

if we assume that everybody wants to life a secure and happy life all acts that we do to enhance it is right and otherwise wrong.

But very often an act that seems right at one point may be wrong at another point - so the motive behind each act is also important to consider.

RIGHT , when you FEEL it's is RIGHTS and WRONG , when you FEEL it's is WRONGS. And that's must be with a GOOD KNOWLEDGE beforehand.

Answer 6

nothing is right or wrong because there is no formula for justification it is just our self satisfaction that decides our point of view...

Answer 7

This question can be translated to mean: What is good, and what is bad to my mind? What is enjoyable, and what is painful to my mind? An action by myself or by another person/thing that raises my power to keep what I love, to capture what I love, rid of what I hate, and avoid what I hate, is right/good to my mind. An action by myself or another person/thing that takes away my power to keep what I love, to capture what I love, rid of what I hate, and avoid what I hate is wrong/bad. So in simpler terms, actions that give me power are good to my mind, and actions that take away my power are bad to my mind.

Answer 8

wrong is when people get hurt. or we allow people to be hurt by our inactions

wrong is when we allow the same to happen to nature- animals or plants- without a real good reason

bear in mind that doing nothing (or preventing others from doing something) can also be wrong.

also- allowing people do do what they want without any opposition may also be wrong.

difficult isn't it?

that is why there is a subject called Ethics- and generations of Philosophers who discuss the question.

Answer 21

There is no good and evil, its only a mere artificial conception in order to build the groundwork of society:laws and orders.

People all have different aspect, perspective, feelings & taste, and of course: ways of dealing. When you ask a certain question which does not necessarily have one answer, the answer will vary between people. Its simple as that, some people may find some solution on certain question 'evil'; however in his perspective only more logical.

'Right-and-wrong' concept, moral builds up depending on the culture & parental teachings. So it all differs.

Most people will say abusing/murder is evil, but, in some circumstances, and in some countries, its tradition of sacrifice. And it is remote to the conception of 'evil' in their perspective.

In our world we have 'law and punishment'. But in my personal view its nothing more than a soft way to put 'vengeance'.

There is no good or evil in this world, there is unique perspective.
