Answer 5

If you aren't able to recognize the difference between good and bad, then you can refer to a few things.

1) the law

2) the commandments (don't have to be religious to follow these)

3) your gut feeling

Some things said to be bad, however, can be good.  But know that addictions are bad.  Moderation is the key.
