Right and Wrong

What is right and wrong? This is something that every parent tries to teach their children and something that lawmakers struggle with as they attempt to create laws for peaceful coexistence in human society. Yet, can anyone set a absolute in what is right and wrong? The English language has exceptions to every rule for it. Many rules and laws have exceptions, so how can there be a definitive right and wrong?
There truly is not right and wrong after all they are definite terms that no set rule can be set to. Right and wrong has seemed to make a difference between common and great men. Great people have followed a more open philosophy of be accountable for what you do, not spending time contemplating whether what needs to be done is right or not. Right and wrong is a childish concept and may be a good guide for children but once you pass the age of childhood it creates a barrier that causes lack of decision, mistakes and other problems to deal with not to mention the loss of sleep that people have wondering if their decisions are right or wrong.
The creating a definite right or wrong also causes two other things to happen. One, it will cause one’s mind to close off to the world. The second is it causes people to become judgmental, because of putting a definite meaning for right and wrong people have a tendency to project their thoughts and ideal onto other people around them.
So how does being accountable work, it is simple, society tends to lock up those who break the law. You break the law and you’ll do the time. It is that simple, everything has its cost if the action that exacts an acceptable price the action is acceptable.
Living by the philosophy that everything has a price opens the door to many paths and make more possible. The only implication that it inflicts on any decision is are you willing to pay the price for the desired action or decision, if the answer is yes it is the correct thing to do. No stress, no lost sleep and no judgments needed.
