if right and wrong are assigned to things and to do this they?

must really carry traits to be considered right and wrong, or else they wouldn/t really be part of this becuase right and wrong are ideas and ideas are sometimes about objects or phenomenom, why does our world need to be explained how to tell right from wrong if being right means wrong knows you are right to want to get rid of wrong and keep only right!

    ...if it were wrong - lives will be lost...

    ...a lesson is learned at the loss of lives and the wrong decision - right...

    ...its sad that people continue to make the wrong decision and still make excuses...

    Poorly worded but I view right and wrong to be concepts that we conceive because we seek guidance. Right and wrong, good and evil and all that builds upon that are simply constructs of a being (Mankind) that seeks to define the world that it lives in. Everything needs and name and a category and if it doesn't fit then we tend to hate it.

    I am a immoral person by my standards, I don't hurt other people unless I need to, I abstain from eating the flesh of the dead, I value people for their courage and their personality, I try my hardest to complete things for other people but I have trouble putting in effort it its for myself. However I feel a great deal of anger and hate towards the world, I am disgusted by the pathetic behaviors of women and men. The very idea of genders being assigned out, of telling children from infancy that they should have this set of traits and if they differ then they are bad is horrible in my eyes. I hate humanity. This is why I see myself as immoral, but find the rest of humanity to be so as well.

    Everything is abstract, all experiences are different and no two beings are ever the same. Right and wrong are just words.

    Right and Wrong are imperfect qualitative descriptions attributed to various occurrences throughout lives of human beings.

    We call things right and wrong because we do not understand the full aspect of a situation.

    Nothing is right or wrong, things just happen and we put our own labels on them according to our own level of limited awareness.

    Right and wrong are people's tools to deal with reality, outside of the human system/world, right and wrong are not applicable. The events of the Universe are unconditional and inherently logical and inevitable...

    Right and wrong are seldom as clear as black and white. There is a gray area that will always be tested. Let's say you know telling a fib is wrong, but instead of hurting someones feelings you say how nice they look. Was that wrong to pay a compliment instead of saying what you really thought?

    Very poorly worded but in a nutshell there are opposites to everything. On, and off. Life and death. It's called balance one can't exsist without the other
