If you are a married man it almost always is.

Well, let's put it this way:
You're standing on a bridge over train-tracks. A train is coming fast down the tracks which is heading towards a wall, and if it hits, all of the passengers die. On the other hand, there is a rather corpulent man standing on the same bridge. If you push him to the already braking train, there is a good chance that the train will stop in time. By doing this, all of the passengers will be saved, but the one man will definately die, leaving you guilty.
Weighing the outcomes, some people would say that killing the fat man would be the right thing to do, saving the hundreds of lives that were on that train. But at the same time, it would also be considered the wrong thing to do, since that man's family will have to live with the loss of their beloved member and probably go on the rest of their lives hating you.
Well that was a pretty rare and improbable situation, but to answer your question, yes, being right can also be wrong.

why push the man? if u really want to save all, u cud take the plunge urself and die heroically rather than live guilty by killing someone else.
coming back to the original ques., right and wrong varies from person to person, what u may feel is right may b wrong to others and vice versa.

There is no right or wrong, it just depends on the point of view.

Yes. Never assume some one is going to stop at a red light or a stop sign. You could be dead right.

It's wrong if all you end up with is being right.

Of course...if you told your Aunt Bertha that she had a fat a--, then that would be very wrong even though your statement may be perfectly correct.

NO. BEING RIGHT IS NEVER WRONG...YOUR IDEA OF BEING RIGHT MAY NOT BE SOMEONE ELSES, BUT IF YOU ARE "RIGHT", STICK TO WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

Nothing will upset people faster then the truth. Many people have been killed for speaking plain truth. Martin Luther King, Jesus ect.
