Right vs Wrong

What is your opinion?

Is there such thing as right and wrong?

I used to believe there was and then I got involved in the New Age and stopped believing in right and wrong and that everything simply was...
but now I am beginning to doubt that.
There must be order.
And in order for there to be order there must be right and wrong.

But it seems lately that things that used to be wrong, are now right and things that you used to be right are now wrong. It seems like chaos now.
Its confusing and I can plainly see where people are feeling torn, divided and are angry.

So what happened to order? Are we now heading towards a time of lawlessness? Makes you wonder.

Right and wrong is judged by our intuition, horse sense, knowledge, intelligence and so on.

And things can be right or wrong to certain people.

Or either right or wrong to all of them.

It all depending on the outlook of the people at that time.

Right and wrong are the same thing. In other words good and bad are the same thing. They are opposites of each other and meet in the middle. Like a magnet where both ends are attractive to their opposites but find their equals repelling. It called 'keeping the balance', or 'the middle way' or letting the pendulum swing.

Exactly, so who decides if something is right or wrong. People deciding on their own seems more like chaos to me. This creates separation and division and arguing! "My opinion is more important than yours!"<--- it seems this is what the world has come down to.

Please forgive me for saying this, but this makes absolutely no sense at all and sounds like you are just talking in circles.
So if someone murdered your mother, that would be both right and wrong?

Right or wrong is like yin/yang, one carries the seed of the other and cannot exist separately.

Imagine climbing a mountain. The view changes all the way up.

Spiritual truth is much the same.

It's the same constant, unchanging Truth, it's just your understanding of it that changes.

Wise guy always select the right choice. And it based on certain facter for him to swing that positive way. For a person who have not a strong belief may swing either way.

If you were viewed from outside or from inside I think the answer sometimes may differ greatly. When we make a decision to say it's right,and with more understanding of it so the answer may be wrong after that when we dig it to the root the answer will be changed again. It's because we don't really know it .

Correct. This is a true statement.

But who decides right from wrong, and wrong from right?

They are different and not the same correct?

Who to decide?

The wisest person after his analysis and wisdom play about with the matter will always come to a conclusion to say right or wrong.

For a leader of a country he will think for the favor of the majority not the minority.

In the courtroom the judge will base on the rules to give statement of right or wrong.
