What is right and wrong? How do you decide?

Question

Do you reference only your own feelings at the moment, or something else?

Gee, thanks, kate l.

Answer 1

Weigh the consequences of each action. And learn to "look down the road." By feelings, if you mean emotions at that instant, then no, im a skeptic of emotions. They lead to rash decisions. Give yourself time to think and ask the right questions.

Answer 2

If its a moral decision a use the Bible as my guide. If its a decision I have to make at work I use the facts that I have at hand to make the best decision. If its a decision concerning my family we come together with my wife and sometimes with the kids to and we decide together.

Answer 3

Go with your gut feeling. If something feels wrong it most likely is.

Also consider the outcomes...what people you care about would think...before deciding. Sometimes it's very hard to tell, and that's
normal.

Answer 4

by a few things: 1) your gut feeling 2) what you've learned through experience 3) what good your parents taght you 4) law of the land

Answer 5

Mostly, I try to remember what my parents taught me. Muslims go by what the Quran say. For example who is "innocent" . In Islam it is forbidden to kill an "innocent" person. But the Quran defines innocent as a person who has not killed (as in war), has not occupied a land and who has not rejected Islam.
