What is Right and what is Wrong?

Answer 1

Our idea of right and wrong are closely tied to our idea of Good and evil

The good and evil that you see don't even exist in reality, at least not outside of the mind that believes in them. They are only judgments passed by the individual from their own unique perspective. What one person sees as bad or evil may seem to be the only logical thing to do from some other perspective. The ideas of both good and evil are point of view specific. This is why people like bush and bin laden are either loved or hated. Bush is seen as good by people who share his fear based thought system. Those who have a compassionate concern for all of mankind often see him as evil.

Bin laden is much the same. He is a villain in much of the western world, but he is somewhat of a celebrated pop star on the Middle East. There are T-shirt shops that sell items with his picture as though he was Jesus. It all depends on your point of view or perspective.

To sum it all up good is the name we give to people who do things that we think we like.

Evil is the name we give to people who do the things that we don’t like.

This is of course based solely on our particular point of view.

Answer 8

Right and wrong can't be defined. There's socially acceptable, and unacceptable, but we ourselves make our own right and wrong. If it's against your moral code, it's 'wrong' to you. But if it's ok in my moral code, it's 'right' to me. It's all a matter of who you are, and what your moral beliefs are.
