Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 ---I use the words right and wrong, good and bad and love and hate as dictionaries define the words, as opposites, how we decide what is right and wrong in the real world can be diffcult in the mixed up state it is in at the moment!I believe there is a ultimate right and wrong which is true regardless of what we pathetic,arrogant humans at times might decide.We can only hope to do what is right based on our desire to do right! thats why a little bit of an awareness, that we are not greater then that which made us! whether you believe in God or some dead consciousless matter that came to life and just happened to evolve living creatures through a mixture of different matter, which just happened to exit anyway.There could be planets out there the size of marbles with life similiar to ours in it!or insects on planets with eyeballs the size of Jupiter!I find it to hard to believe that there no conscious creator! whatever the case! sp, In , Oliver Slay <oliver@l...> wrote: > love and hate are not opposites ... and right and wrong are not opposites... > > when someone loves completely with their whole body ... there is no room for > hate... can you hate someone you love? ... someone you really love... can > you hate them? ... is there room for it? > > subjectively speaking, right and wrong for you are opposites... and right > and wrong for me might be opposites... but what you call right and wrong, > and what i call right and wrong, are not the same ... will never be the > same... so why not question whether right and wrong are opposites... let's > question whether opposite is the right word to be using here... > > what is the wrong way to do something ? ... is the wrong way to do something > the way that i have been educated to do it? ... are you going to stand in > front of someone and tell them that? > > let's use a little science knowledge ... if you are doing an experiment ... > to test your theory ... most results fit your theory ... but there are some > results that do not fit ... are they wrong? ... or is your initial theory > wrong? ... it's a 'sin' (hamartia) when the results do not fit 100% with > your theories... and in order to repent (metanoia) you must adjust your own > theories until the results fit ... > > so you have values... you have values that you have created in your lifetime > due to the (relatively) immediate environment in which you live ... the > village the town the area... the society .. the country ... the continent > ... > > and yet we place these values on the universe ... a universe where there is > no mercy for any part... stars die just because they might get sucked into a > black hole ... stars are born ... some plastic surgery and some stars are > reborn ... where tidal waves kill people ... and tornadoes rip up homes... > (don't you just hate tidal waves?) > > so what is right and what is wrong? ... in 15th century Korea boys of 9 > years old were married to 14 year old girls... you might say that is > wrong... but 4-20 million Koreans would have put you in the corner and > laughed at you for being so silly... they don't do it now ... because some > self-righteous missionaries came along and told them they shouldn't do it > because it was wrong... > > > > > > > > vegicate1 [simonpjones@o...] > > Wednesday, March 27, 2002 11:59 AM > > > > Re: Hate (was tibetans vegan?)
