is it right to do wat we like to do even though it is wrong to others?

Answer 1

Philosophical Angle:

Choice is always yours.
Question of wrong or right never arises. Theses are relative terms; they depend upon place, time and situation or context.
Man is free to choose its action.
Every action has its consequence (reaction).

Important Point Is: It is the state of mind (your intent, reason, feelings, knowledge etc.) that determines the consequence.

Consider the following facts/points:
1. A Soul maintains its physical form (body) by destroying the physical forms of other souls. We breathe - we kill lacs of germs, we talk - we kill lacs of others, with the twinkling of eyes scores of others are destroyed. So each action is Good and each action is Bad.

2.Necessary survival activities are considered good by people though they involve injury, hurt to others, like killing of enemies by soldier, using pesticides.

3.Intent/ Purpose of the action altogether makes the major difference. For example – Self-defense killing is not considered wrong by law.

4.We follow an implied rating system of animal/human activities. For example your pleasure activity cannot be above the survival activity of an animal. If for pleasure you kill a bird, it will be termed wrong by society. However if you had killed it for food, when you were hungry for days, it will be justified.

5.Your judgment alone matters and not what others think. If you are convinced of your action that it is right. It must be done.
(List truncated)


So friend, take the scrutiny of the things that you like or wish to do. Form you own judgment. Others opinion will not save you from the consequence of your actions.


Practical Angle (if it is not a one time act):

Do the things you like and check for signs on your body or face

1. If your body is poised, it is good.

2. If your mind is at rest and calm with not guilt. It is good.

3. If there is smile, sign of peace, satisfaction on your face then it has helped you. It is good for you.

4. After doing it if you immediately feel that it should be done again, it is generally good.

Answer 2

Right and wrong are subjective. It is impossible to live life without harming someone at some point or having a differant point of view than someone else. The Christian Bible says "Do unto others what you would have them do unto you" which sounds like a pretty good rule to follow if you're unsure of how you should be acting. There are reactions and consequences to all actions you have to decide what is appropriate for you and what is important to you then you will know what is right and wrong.

Answer 3

Yes, it is wrong to do the things what other think is wrong. If majority of people think it is wrong then it is better not to do that thing. If some people only think it is wrong, I guess it is ok to continue to do that. I am saying that because opinions differ from person to person. If one person thinks it is right, the other person my think it is wrong. The thoughts also change according to the situation.

Answer 4

No, when we know that our choices are hurting others or are stumbling others in making the right choices in their life, then we are not being accountable for the actions in our own life and we are a world-wide community and must practice accountability - as they say we may be free, but freedom isn't the freedom to harm, it's the freedom to be responsible.

Answer 5

Yes, It's absolutely damn right, provided & if only if U like wrong doings by others 2 U.

Answer 6

Yes if other people just think it is wrong. No if it actually hurts someone else. I will also add that if what you're doing is hurting yourself, and that's why others don't approve, you might want to reconsider your actions. Otherwise, have fun and live your life!

Answer 7

GREAT QUESTION !
I have wrestled with this for years.
And I still dont know.
I have in times past done what I've wanted to do not caring who got pissed off.But then later,I was sorry I did it.What may feel good at the moment is bad in the long run.All you can do is ask yourself:
Is it worth it?

Answer 8

Of course it is. You have to think for yourself and other people have no business whatsoever what you do with your life. Unless it really affects others, of course, then the answer is no.

Answer 9

Yes. What's "wrong" is to live your life according to what others want.

Answer 10
