Ok, let me go off on one point of this artical. if a group of people do something that we believe is wrong, and if they don't know what we mean by our right, are they wrong for that? No, of course not. we as a species on this planet share a common anatomy, a common chemical makeup, a common bond as you will. We are not the same, but very similar. We make such rules of nature, or ways to behave, because at one time or another we feel that this will work out the best for us, or would have in a previous situation. Are we wrong in wanting to be happy? Maybe. Sometimes the methods in which we persue happiness, such as defying these "laws of nature" bring us happiness in the shortrun, but cause us and others grief later on. Such as trying to making excuse up. While it seems to solve our problem in the shortrun, all it is really doing is delaying the end result, that is until someone eventually gives up their point. We as humans are in a transition period. We try to act civilized, but when pushed far enough, we result to our primitive ways. We react with instinct. We lie. We cheat. We steal. We kill. These are temporary fixes, they can bring no good.
But this is also true. Just because we are the same species does not mean we govern ourselves by exactly the same rules.... we want what is fair. we learn this through interaction with other peoples.... real right and wrong... does have a fine line...the problem is seperating it from what we mearly want to be right, and what is right. it is like saying my religeon is right, and yours is wrong.. i may be misconstrewing it ,but who designates these right and wrongs. which rights are actually right and which wrongs are wrong. if we all had the same experiences, then maybe one set of definite rules of nature could be written, but this is not so. We live different lives, and see different things. What rules we decide to govern ourselves with, is what we think will benefit us the most, or is the way we were taught previously. Thus through early interaction of humanity, a standard seems to appear. This standard, whether real or not, is important. If you believe in the system of standards, or Law of Nature, then by all means you should abide by it as stated. and if you don't believe in it, then you shouldn't feel a need to justify yourself on that system. I am probably just restating what was said, but that is my piece. i am tired, and it is 1:24 am. night
