Right and Wrong

it's pretty hard to define how i reason what is right and what is wrong. everyone has a different set of morals.even though i am not religious in any way, i still have morals, maybe different from the ones a religious person may have

That's a pretty general question. My family taught me right from wrong and I think the gist of it is that wrong things hurt people in one way or another. Doing right things fosters good feelings and benefits others. I usually don't even have to think what's right or wrong, I just know it. God bless my parents and family!

Common sense and you own conscience should tell you whatis right and what is wrong. If your parents have been diligent in teaching you from day one rely on those two and you will never be far off track.

he way we live, our behaviour and the way we respond when people treat us, the judgements we make when other people are mistreated-these things reveal what we really believe about right and wrong. For example, we believe it was morally wrong for the Nazis to torture and kill six million Jews during World War II. But we not only think it is wrong, we think everyone should agree that it is wrong. This is not to say that something is wrong just because everyone agrees it is wrong. There is a logical possibility that we are mistaken and it is just our cultural conditioning that tells us these things are wrong. This may be a logical possibility, but is it very likely that our deepest intuitions about this matter could be mistaken? That would mean torturing people is not really wrong; we just think it is. But if this basic intuition is wrong, that is, if it is merely the result of cultural conditioning, could it be possible that our other basic beliefs and intuitions, such as our belief in cultural conditioning, are also the result of this same conditioning process? If so, it seems this line of reasoning is self-refuting. It fails its own test. Most people know that such atrocities as what the Holocaust are genuinely, objectively wrong. Christians believe that if objective principles of right and wrong exist, there must be a foundation for them. And the foundation that makes the most sense is the character of a perfect and holy God. For me the decision of right and wrong depend on how we judge the situation. This is how strong our knowledge and belief on our almighty. If we keep on holding to our faith, i can say that this is the right way that we judge it right and seeing it right from wrong.

Some of it is perception. There are those who see everything as black and white, but the truth is there are many many shades of gray between black and white. This is literally true and figuratively true. Consider this for a moment. You are a parent - a mother, a father. You have a young child. You lose your job. Because of the lost job, you lose your house, your car, etc etc. You've managed to still scrape together enough daily to take care of your child but you are suffering. Today you cannot manage to find anything, so you decide to steal something in order to feed your child. Is this right or wrong? Certainly it is against the law but you are trying to care for your child. In this matter, I don't consider something that is unlawful as necessarily an evil thing because your intention is for good. I suppose it depends on your priorities in life and how closely you get those to match up with the society's views of 'right' and 'wrong'. There is also the matter or moral right and wrong, but not everybody believes in that. It depends how much smaller you want to make your world I guess.
