Love and Hate, Black and White, Up and Down, Light and Dark are all opposites similar to Right and Wrong. They are however only similar. We cannot live without balance.
There must always be the opposite of the other. The problem with Right and Wrong and Good and Evil is that they are fairly subjective. One person may think there is nothing wrong with murder, rape, theft, drinking and driving, cheating, or anything else you can think of, and someone else thinks it is wrong.
Good and Evil need each other in order to survive, because even some wrongs are partially right.

You can never live in a world of always right and never wrong due to the dynamic differences in society and people. What one views as right one day could be wrong the next. Plus you can never truly know what is right unless you had something wrong to compare it to. If we lived in a world that is always right then sooner or later it will turn into a world that is always wrong.

Of course not. Right or wrong is a matter of perspective. It is just a concept. Wherever you live, whatever timeframe you choose to put yourself into, these two moral issues will always exist. To give you an example, let's consider torture. Now, is it right or wrong? And yet, if the world is full of torturers, and everybody is a torturer, would it be right? Point of view. Its all down to our point of view.

No. If there is no such thing as wrong then we also can't be able to define what is really right. Society has defined these two terms in a contradictory way but without the other one, both of them cannot exist.

Philosophy is great at extempore thoughts philosophy is ninety nine percent one's own perception of Life as he or she has been conditioned to believe in it .
A right of yours becomes a right by the world if others happens to see this right as Right . Given the number of probabilities of this world population ,it is a dream never to be factual .
Thanks any way for the Hope.

The problem here is not whether we can survive wiht some proportional distribution of both, What you have to realise is that evil is a neccessary precondition for good to exist. If somehow evil ceases to exist there will no reference point for us to define good and so good will cease to exist.
Once that happens all our basis of morality are washed away.
Another important thing. 'good','bad','virtue' are all synthetic invention of man. There is nothing 'good' or 'bad' inherent in an action, we men like to label them so.
So essentially 'good','bad' can be understood as arbitrary labels on containers, what the container contains is totally irrelevant to these superfluous labels.
For more detailed discussions read up Kant and his model of morality.

If everything is "right" then there will be degrees of more or less "rightness" That will evolve into a rating system or scale of "rightness" , which will eventually become another system of right and wrong.Works for me tonight!

Nope. We need to do wrong stuff so we can learn from it and do more right thing. If everything was right then we wont progress and move on.

Perhaps we could live in such a world, but the reality is that such world does not exist...it is only an imaginary one...

Balance. With a Positive there is a negative. What one person may think is right, may not be right to another person.
