    Right? Wrong?

    What is right and what is wrong? There are so many people in this world and it seems as if no two people believe in the exact same thing. Now knowing this doesn’t seem absurd to have overall rules and laws for billons of different people, to have one government in control. Someone who has never even meet you telling you that what you’re doing is wrong. A solution to this problem is a free world. A world in which your morals and values dictate what you do not what the world does. Even though people usually don’t believe in the exact same thing you’ll find people who believe in very similar things. These groups of similar believers should join together and from their own way of life. Even if we don’t have a government there will always be leaders, someone will always step up and take control. Instead of living in a world where your born into a government you could be given a right to join a group with a leader with similar believes as you.

    Should people be allowed to use illegal drugs if desire? This is one example of Right or wrong. There are the people using who obviously think its ok, the people who strongly disagree, and every one else in between. Some one might say “well I value my life so I’m not doing drugs.” Then again another might say “well I value my life, I’m not going to let fear control my life, I’m going to life live to the fullest” and both thinking their better then each other. The Anti-drug commercial says to “be above the influence”. Influence? Your influence to do it and to not do it, Be above which influence? Which one is the “right” influence? Just because our government in America pass a law that doesn't allow use with out consequence, does that make it wrong? Who are you or anyone else to decide what right or wrong for others?

    Another topic is killing, majority would say taking a life from another is very wrong. Well let’s say someone who comes back from a war is rewarded for serving his country, and another is criminally insane whose inline for execution from the death penalty. My question is why is one honored and the other is killed. They both did the same thing; they both took a life from another. What about killing in self defence? Someone might say well killing is excepted if in good reasoning like self defence or in a battle. But the criminal thought her/his reason was good enough or he/she wouldn’t have done it. Actions aren’t done with out reason or a gut feeling. Something inside us tells what’s right and wrong. Just because someone's right and wrong decision making is different from yours doesn’t make it right or wrong.

    The last topic is wild animals. Wild animals live free, they might have a dominant male leading the pack but there no animal king like the movie lion king. Why can human beings do the same? I know animals aren’t capable of as much destruction as us but just because there are no overall laws telling us what’s wrong, are people going to let things they believe to be wrong still happen? If there no law or consequence for killing are you going to start killing? Do you think drugs are wrong or are you just afraid of the consequences? Are you living a life of fear? Not doing what you want to do just because you’re afraid to get in trouble. Then you're not really living your life, your living a life they want you to live so you are not who you really are, you're them.

    The main point here is that there is no true overall right and wrong. It’s up to you if something is right or wrong. Understand that just because something is right to you doesn’t make right for someone else. There is a way of life for everyone and you should find out what that is for you. Find out what you want in life and go for it but before you do listen and try to understand all the opinions around you. You shouldn’t pick a side until you’ve heard them all.

    There are a lot of people with alot of different moral standards thee days. For me, I think the Wiccan rede says it all, and should work for pretty much everybody:

    Harm none, do what you will.

    I have 3 rules,

    1) Love myselfs
    2) Love other
    3) Love the Eternal Being

    These are all the rules I know of that matter, all other rules are man made and are used as a method of control.
    The biggest reason goverments have laws that tell us how to live is because someone wants to control you and others. To enforce their laws they use;;;;;
    Police
    Religion
    "Culture"
    and mind control...

    Where is mind control? TV, Newspapers, Radio, etc etc etc etc etc etc

    My old man told me once that the real measure of a person was in what he did for others. With that said how do all the laws help others?
    FREE YOUR MIND!
    Guilt is there biggest weapon.

    people should be able to do as they wish, as long as it's not getting in the way of anyone else's life
