The Philosophical Understanding about Right vs. Wrong

Sometimes right and wrong mean correct and incorrect. Sometimes they mean accurate or inaccurate. Sometimes they mean morally/ethically good or bad. Most of people have been using the words right and wrong in the moral/ethical sense. In that sense, some human actions are objectively and absolutely right or wrong. Other human actions are either subjectively right or wrong or relatively right or wrong. People always looks at the world the way as to how they want it to be, so anything that is not matching their way of looking at the outer world, they consider it as wrong, and what’s matching their vision seems right to them. It’s a complete individual phenomenon, and right and wrong is determined completely about how we perceive the circumstances whatever disturbs one's peace of mind is wrong. Right and wrong also comes in shades of grey. Right and wrong is a very hard thing to define. It depends mostly on your perspective experiences and situation. Philosophically, there isn't always a right or wrong choice in any situation and there is a lot of grey. This makes it very hard to choose a right or wrong from your choices. We challenge, we debate, we learn the nature of each other through the aspect of civil and respectful dialog. We shift and move our thoughts through this process, while growing in mind and spirit to the competitive nature that is the essence of being human. There is nothing called right. But then, the impact of our deeds, is spread across primordial cycles of cause and effect, often, coming back to us beyond the boundaries of our memories. Right and Wrong are subjective aspects of how we choose to live our life, but the essence of life, the ability to live, act and grow requires a sense of collaboration, that practical aspect of choosing to work together, regardless of the philosophical differences between us. The problem of questionable RIGHT or WRONG comes when they are based on beliefs, which are developed by human thinking. Even the rules, which are made by humans come in for questioning.

There is no need for everything to have the same standard or criteria. Many times right and wrong are subjective, from communication perspective, one should always gain empathy from other point of view, then you could be more flexible to share the “right” things with others, but also be open to “wrongs,” not necessary real wrong, perhaps the complementary viewpoint to co-paint a big picture with full spectrum of colors.
