Is there anything you can do that is ALWAYS right, or ALWAYS wrong?

Question

Best one gets the 10 points. Try to explain your case :) Thanks!

Oh come on... philosophise? Come up with something you would do in a situation maybe? Good answers all but not ten pointers!

Great kendire12b!

and amy too.

Brilliant :) I meant this to be an entirely open question, not just morally.. anything. How about maths?

You all rock. Really clever stuff. Wasn't expecting such a great response.

Answer 1

Sorry to sound so morbid, but you're always right when you know life will eventually end, and always wrong when you feel you will live forever!
Of course, that is apart from the belief that some have that there is life after death!

Answer 2

You could argue that absolutely nothing you do is right or wrong... if you do something so-called wrong, then you learn how NOT to do the same thing again the next time, so its never wrong-wrong. Not if it teach you something.... if you make a bad decision but do so in good faith, is that "wrong" or was it just a bad decision and an opportunity to learn more about yourself and what does or doesn't work for you???

The ONLY thing I can say I DO that is ALWAYS ALWAYS right is - sign my name.... with my right hand! I am right handed so I always write with a pen in my right hand. That is always right as I can't sign or write things with a pen in my left hand!!

As for always wrong... I would say my "quest" to find self-acceptance always seems to be wrong. I seem to fail. Or should I phrase that in more positive tones and say that I have yet to achieve it? I am a bit of an Eeyore and tend to be negative, so everything always seems wrong. Being born seem to have been my first and biggest mistake. Most of the things I do seem to be wrong in retrospect with hindsight. But there you go, such is life hu! What hasn't killed me has made me stronger....

Answer 3

Get Married, LOL : Like, Someone Who Has A Really Healthy Marriage, Will Say Getting Married Was The Right Thing To Do, Then 7 Years Later, They Say It Was The Wrong Decision, They Never Think They're Wrong!

Answer 4

You can always do everything both right and wrong. There are no absolutes because right and wrong are completely subjective ideas and one persons idea of right/wrong may be totally different from another persons. There is also the problem of ends vs. means. If your ends is to kill someone, then no matter how you do it, if you do it, you do it right. If your ends is to go from point A to B, then whether you walk, fly, take a car or whatever, no matter how, it is right. Right is not however always best, however. It would not be best to take a Leer Jet to the grocery store three blocks away. This would not make it wrong, however. Ultimatley there is no right or wrong, just what is best or worst.

Answer 5

When my husband has one of his bad migraines, nothing I do or say or the way I act is right and it's always wrong. His pain is SO great that he just needs to take it out on someone. So I just have to give him some space, NOT talk to him and that makes him realize that he's got a bad headache again and is taking it out on me. Patience in this case is the ONLY thing I can do right all the time.

Answer 6

It is always wrong to break a promise. A promise involves placing oneself under an obligation, and this is true by virtue of the meaning of the use of language which constitutes the making of the promise. Consequently, it is also always wrong to make a promise, since it means that one is placing oneself under an obligation not to do anything which will make it impossible to keep regardless of what that might be.

It is also always right to keep a promise for the same reasons.

Answer 7

I guess that depends on what you mean. If you mean like morality than that's up to everyone's own opinion of right and wrong. If you're talking about skills I guess I could come up with something that I can do consistently. I am always bad at baking. No matter what I do it always comes out wrong.

Answer 8

That's too vague to answers properly; "anything you can do" could include or exclude pretty much anything.
What's right or wrong is up to people's individual opinions, and almost anyone would change their's under certain circumstances.
But in general I'd say "no", you can't judge a situation before it's happened.

Answer 9

I assume you mean morally right, as opposed to merely correct or wise.

It is always right to consider how your actions will effect others. Depending on circumstances, it may be right or wrong to adjust your actions because of the impact on others, but it -always- right to consider the matter before hand. Otherwise, if you do a good thing, it is an accident, and if you do a bad thing, it is thoughtlessness. So, in a way, the only way to ever do anything truly "good" is to think about wether it is good or bad before hand. Which means thinking before hand, ipso facto, is always good.

Answer 10

Stealing. It's always wrong although it may be justifiable (in the case of a single mother stealing food from a grocery store to feed her starving kids). It's still wrong but you can at least understand what drove the person to such actions.

Same goes for murder. Even if it's in self-defense. It's wrong to take the life of another human but it may be justifiable. If someone is going to kill you or your family if you don't kill them it's certainly justifiable (and in many courts of law you will not be held accountable for such acts although it is still wrong).
