Right and wrong. Ever really think about those terms? They don't exist in nature, only we have that distinction. Is it wrong that a cheetah kills an old or slow prey? How bout when a hawk scoops up some poor fieldmouse? What about when cities flood, or the earth quakes? That is merely the "natural order of things", no right or wrong, out of our control. Yet we strive to note that we make that point-of-view distinction and therefore are higher beings. We even created religions to justify what is right and what is wrong. Yet we do nothing to change what what we know to be wrong. Hell, we actually do more to justify it. I say that as higher beings we don't need religion and politics to tell us how to justify the wrongs; merely the "God" that lives in each and everyone of our civilized guts to justify us doing whats right!
I feel that everyone (ok, a few psychotics aside) has a lil feeling in the pit of their stomach from about age five that lets us know when we do wrong or an injustice is taking place. We merely decide to ignore it sometimes as a society. We don't need a church to tell us that; or a law for every conceivable situation that may occur. Our ability to have this feeling is truly what makes us higher beings; and should make us want to behave like higher beings. We have a responsibility to respect humanity and always strive to be humane (funny most "humans" lack the ability to be "humane"). I challenge you to answer to a higher power we ALL should believe in--that lil voice in your gut that hungers for justice, equality, and the righting of wrongs.
We start wars to bring peace, rape the planet while claiming to be conservationist, tax the poor to help the rich, spend millions on entertainment yet won't feed the homeless, hate one another whom we claim to be our brothers. Is all this wrong? Ask your gut. But if you don't like it's answer and do nothing-- then you my friend have gone from wrong to evil...
