After recent pondering of the issue of right and wrong, I'ev been wondering, do they really exist? Is there really a right and a wrong? For instance let me give you examples were these are used daily.
1: You are doing that wrong.
By who's standards is something wrong? One persons way may be right, when someone else percieves it to be right. And of course vice versa. But the point is, if the outcome is succesful, does right and wrong matter? And what is success? Is it truly neccesary to become the best? And what is best? etc etc. When you question right and wrong and what is right and what is wrong can you actually go on your daily life without asking questions about almost everything that are so drilled into your existence that you never actually would?
2: You're wrong in saying that.
In who's terms again is one right and wrong, if thre are so many different ways of saying something and everyone has a look at everyone being right or wrong, right and wrong become words, without meaning. So when someone says 'you're wrong' they may be right, but then again they may be wrong. But then what I just said has no meaning because I used right and wrong. So again it begs the question, what is right and wrong?
3: The Earth is round? Thats wrong.
Almost definatley 500 years ago this would have been the said thing if someone differed from the theory that the Earth was flat. But the Earth is flat from our perspective with our eyes isn't it? So is right and wrong just a concept of understanding even though we use it as a definition of fact or fiction?
4: My faith is right, your atheism is wrong. Your delusion is wrong, my atheism is right.
We all know that one. So then, both of those when they call each other wrong are thinking the same thing, the same assumption. Granter they are differnt motives and ideals behind each others saying that, but both classifying the other as wrong is the same psychological composite, with the same feelings and motives to say 'wrong'. So in essence there is no right and wrong because they are both the same, so is right and wrong relative like time? If we were all 'right' or 'wrong', would the world be any different? I don't think so. What's your ideas and thoughts on this, if any?
