Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.” “So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.” “Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.”

What is right what is wrong? This question led me to finding so many views and perspectives of what people think is either right or wrong, i will share with you some

Morality(the popular right) is a human invention and is applicable only to humans. They are set rules aimed at encouraging and preserving civilization. Just because humans have objectively classified things into right and wrong doesn’t necessarily mean that these classifications actually exist in nature.
These guidelines, and thus the perception of right and wrong keep on changing with time as the opinions of the majority of humans change. There is a statement delivered by Brad Pitt in the movie, 12 Monkeys, "There's no right, there's no wrong, there's only popular opinion." Once there was a popular opinion was that Earth was flat and that notion was considered "right". Then, there were times when the sun revolving the Earth was a common opinion, and the ones opposing that, were considered crazy. While cannibalism, public torture, and blood fights were widely accepted in many societies in the past, these are now considered heinous acts. Until recently, or even today, homosexuality and atheism were/are considered wrong. Today, marijuana and prostitution are illegal(in most parts of the world). Who knows, tomorrow the "popular opinion" changes and what is considered wrong today would be considered right tomorrow.

Right is that which is based in truth and therefore it is correct.
Wrong is based in illusion, pure belief and fantasy; based in constructs that only exist in an imbalanced mind. Wrong is not based in truth.
Right is in harmony with the laws of morality that exist inherently within nature.
Wrong is immoral because they stand in direct opposition to the laws of common sense, the laws of morality.
Actions based in right do not result in harm to other sentient beings.
Actions based in wrong result in harm to other sentient beings.
If an action is harmful, it is not a right. If no harm is resulting to someone else, that action is reserved as a right. It really is that simple.
The exercise of conscience is the free will choice of right action over wrong action, once the definitive knowledge of the objective difference between right and wrong according to natural law has been acquired.
Agents following orders never exercise conscience. They are not acting of their own free-will accord. They are attempting to abdicate that free will choice to someone else and then simply claiming that they are "just following orders".
Following orders is directly opposed to conscience. If someone is following orders, they can not be exercising conscience, since, by definition, exercising conscience means that someone is willfully and correctly choosing for themselves right action over wrong action out of their own free will.
Does ones intention not matter? Does what they actually intended in their mind not matter?
Absolutely not. Intentions, when it comes to carrying out immoral behaviors, are meaningless. Behaviors either cause harm or they do not. What is intended has absolutely no bearing on it; the action only bears all the weight. That’s what is ultimately manifested into reality. Every cause has an effect and every effect has its cause. Everything happens according to natural law. That’s why intentions are meaningless.
Willful ignorance and refusal to own personal responsibility does not change what is manifested into reality and one is still responsible no matter how much they wish to give it away. An individuals personal responsibility to choose right action over wrong action for themselves is always their own and can never be "given away".
One can claim that they are "abdicating" personal responsibility for such choices to someone else, but it can never actually be done in reality. An individual is always responsible for their own actions whether told to do it or not. They are responsible for exercising conscience. If they act upon someone else’s command to do an action, they are responsible for that action. The obligation is on them regardless of whether they want it or not. And in this false belief that they can abdicate their responsibilities, they become a slave to others

Sort:  

In a group, if majority thinks it is right then it is right in the group. And out of subjective consciousness, there is no right and wrong.

Thank you so much for your contribution
