Sometimes I wonder, why do so many people, nations, and societies fight, argue, and debate over voluminous
issues, beliefs, and indifferences? Just about everyone feel that their views or beliefs are right. However, right or wrong are merely perspectives that are imbedded within us as a result of our upbringing, exposure, education, experience and spiritual indoctrination. After all is said and done, time, exposure and experience has predicated who we have become, the values that we have embraced, and the spiritual outlook on life that we have
ultimately accepted as being the truth. Each and every human being that is living anywhere within this world have been programmed and assimilated to perceive their world view according to these simple
principles of upbringing. Throughout time, experience, and practice, we are predisposed to believe in what we believe with a conviction of heart. When we believe from the heart we are blameless in our views, despite what anyone else may think or believe. The heart is the foundation to who we are, how we percieve the world, and what we ultimately believe is right or wrong. Even if one is morally wrong about something they believe is right, such a person should be forgiven because they know no better. In such a case, such person should be dealt with in terms of identifying the immoral or moral, good or evil principles that may be inherent in one''s thinking or ways of looking at things. For example; let''s say that a group of people believe that it is alright to steal from their neighbors. Maybe this group of people were brought up by families of thieves. Perhaps they would argue that it is their neighbors responsibility to keep their doors locked, be mindful of their belongings, and trust no one if they wanted to protect their values. When asked if they would like for their own values to be stolen, the thieves would then reply no. The obvious response would then be to advise the thieves that they should not do unto others what they would not have others do unto them. Otherwise, it would be immoral and wrong conduct. That''s a natural law of nature, despite anyone''s religion or what anyone may believe. When speaking in terms of moral or immoral conduct, the principles of a person''s belief then comes to the final light. Although one may be justified in his or her''s belief based on their upbrining, exposure, experience and spiritual indoctrination; their underlying principles and perspectives or measured by their moral or immoral conduct. Through measuring the moral versus the immoral principles, we can then reasonably distinguish an ultimate right from wrong. Until then, there is no ultimate right or wrong because everyone is justified by what has been programmed and imbedded in their hearts. Therefore, we must challenge the moral versus the immoral qualities in whatever a person may deem is right or wrong before passing any judgment on one''s belief or decision on any issue or thing. We are helpless in the things that have historically shaped, formed and fashioned who we have become throughout time and space from childhood to adulthood. We think that we are right because of what we have been programmed to believe, but our beliefs are merely consumations of assimilated indoctrinations that have created our value system and the way we look at the world.Yes, you are right about what you believe, but not ultimately right. You are only ultimately right when you weigh your principles of belief against the moral versus the immoral standards of life. And what are they? They are the principles of love versus hate, good versus evil, happiness versus sadness, peace versus war, and life verus death. If your principles or beliefs contributes to one or more of these evils over the good, then you are ultimately wrongour views or beliefs may be because you would not want to contribute destruction or any of these evils to your own life and welfare. This is a moral law, and the only law that could judge and determine the ultimate right or wrong. Until then, the world cannot agree to an ultimate right or wrong about anything. Religion has nothing to do with it.
