How do you know what is right and what is wrong? There are so many inspirations of the one and only truth, millions of claim indentical words as their inspiration, how do you know what is right for you ?
You have look at your values. Is this something you would want to proclaim on a street corner? Or would you feel that surely you be exposed as a bad person? If an action can pass that test, it most likely is not wrong..and it might even be right.

What is right for one that may be wrong for others, and vice versa. So, you can say actually nothing is like right or wrong. Just people follows their believes. Like Hindu will consider eating beef as sin or the absolutly wrong thing to be done as a Hindu. But for people of other religion beef is a main food.
What you believe and what you see from your childhood affect a lot with your decision about what is right and waht is wrong.

i think these things depend upon our moral values which we have learnt from our family,surroundings and education.yes sometime we unable to judge that what is right or wrong....then our morals,intelligence,mature guidence and our faith on God enable us to move further.

Instead of looking for right and/or wrong i try to fit myself into that situation..... and the amazing fact is that i always feel that the other person is right ... amazing ... i always felt that circumstances make person the way they are... as in they are not right or wrong or good or bad ... its just that the circumstances that makes it look like that
i thnk this is how it works for me

I think, it should not happen like circumstances come and change your attitude. Circumstances will never going to be the same, it changes every now and then. If it has impact to change person accordingly, I would say, that person is not mentally strong to fight back with circumstances.
Yes, I do believe, sometimes it requires to accept the circumstances and move on in life. But I still believe, "Dont go the way life takes you, take life the way you want to go"

There is really no right or wrong... one judges right or wrong from his beliefs and upbringing. What one may think right, the others think they are wrong. Chistians believe that taking one's life is wrong and is a great sin, while some religion or culture teaches that taking one's is an honorable way to die or a ticket to entering the gates of heaven. Some cultures may also teach that it's right to beat women or wives & kill them when they do something wrong, but for the western culture it's just wrong.

No, I think in any culture or religion, it has never mentioned or consider to right to beat women or wives or kids. That's literaly sin.
In fact no one has any rights to beat anyone.
Yes, I understand there might be lot of things which one consider as right but for other its wrong because it depends on beliefs and understandings. However, there are few things which are ethically not at all right, like stealing, cheating, lying etc...

This is a great n simpl lokin wuestion.
I think there's nothin like rite or wrng.Suppose i stole a loaf of bread from a bakery. I am caught and punished. My reason wud be:i didn't eat any for past 5 days, had no money, i did that in desparation. unless i do that i wud die of starvation.
Shopkeeper:How dare u? this is a crime, irrespective of wether u stole bread or gold. u ought to be punished.
What do u say kalpan?
there's no mistak in the deed of boy. He told he did it out of desparartion.this is in general human point of view.
Shopkeeper also did rite. His business is not meant to be ruined like this.
ther's nothin like rite or rong......
