Some people say right is right and wrong is wrong. Others say that right and wrong are subjective. Still others believe that right and wrong change over time.
I believe that there is an absolute right and absolute wrong in total reality, a state most cannot reach. Total reality would be the realization of events in their proper perspective. Total reality would be a clear sky viewed through clear "lenses" and the reality we live in would contain some clear spots devoid of personal desires and wants, but is also cloudy viewed through cloudy "lenses." As one can see, each person possesses some partial truths, but not entire truths because of his or her cloudy perceptions through desires, vices, and personal bias.
Thus, right and wrong, viewed under the context of our "partial" reality world, can be subjective and can change over time because our "lenses" are not totally clear. While people can identify certain rights and wrongs because their perceptions are not "blind", they cannot see everything. Until we can "see" clearly, we are forced to grope, like a blind man, to discover what is truly right and what is truly wrong. And until then, we can only speculate on what is right and what is wrong, which is subjective from person to person

There is actually no right or wrong...
The reason we have right and wrong is to keep humanity inline. So we don't go killing ourselfs...
Right and wrong changes over time and is defined by the people who happen to be in power at the time, and is different for each part of the world.
Today it's wrong to own slaves, but way back it was ok.
Today it's ok for a women to vote, back them it was wrong...
get it?

That is a pretty open ended question, you know. Doing good and practicing a good heart can elevate the soul. That is always right. Be truthful to yourself and others, and blessings will befall you. Now, let's talk about wrong. Committing acts of sins and horrible deeds to push others aside and get what you want in life is very wrong. You will never be at peace with yourself and others if this is what you do. Have you ever heard of St. Francis of Asi Asi? He always did good(Ex. giving to the poor, helping animals,ect.) His father and mother were wealthy and they considered him to wasting his time doing all these good deeds. But he persisted. By doing this, his soul came to a higher level, and he was at one with nature and God. This is right. I hope I have answered your question thoroughly.

I think there is ALMOST no right or wrong, just opinions. people tend to be unconsiously competitive, and hate being wrong, don't you hate it when people say " i told you so." everyone does. that's why people tend to fight over opinions on politics, religion, etc. because they want their way to be right and keep their pride. But really the world is not black and white, there is not one right way in life and one wrong way, it all depends on you personally, you have to decide what is right or wrong FOR YOU . What is right for one may not be right for another.

Right is what makes you feel in peace with yourself.
If you doubt, hide something, are afraid of being discovered or you feel guilty for something, then what you did was wrong.
It's only a personal point and this is why what may be right for me, it may be wrong for you and the other way round.

In this world, with my personality superimposed, right is what that makes someone else feel better, in a reasonable sense and wrong is what that makes someone else feel worse, in a reasonable sense.
The word reasonable came because yeah, people get angry if I support gay marriages, i would still support because it is not wrong to support. or whatever, you get the idea.

for most of the world what they want is right , and not giving it to them is wrong! Not morality, selfishness is what defines the question

Right is what you feel you're wanting and / or for yourself and the world. Wrong is what you feel you don't want for yourself and / or the world.
