what may seem right to me, may to seem right to you.

a selfish statement one might say. but isn't both parties selfish if both parties think one is wrong and the other is right? a pointless argument I would say.

the fact is, all humans perceive different things in different ways. we all have different believes and attitudes towards any subject that is presented before us.

even though some of us have the same beliefs and attitudes, we too view these beliefs and attitudes differently. and this brings me to the next point.

something right can only be deemed correct by the society one may be in. an example would be: in 1939, nazi Germany, the persecution of the jews. the nazis say that it is correct to kill the Jews, only because it is socially acceptable. they feel no form of guilt whatsoever. during the Nuremberg trails, nazi war criminals were convicted because of their crimes. only because the allies saw what they have done to the jews as immoral only because they do not accept nazi ideology in that society.

respect. that is what is lacking now. I was brought up to think narrow. after a certain series of events I now see that sometimes, accepting each other for who they are, whatever their beliefs or attitudes are, can show how much of a person you are.

you might disagree with my post. or about the example that I give. because from your standpoint, killing is wrong. I too have to agree with you. but I couldn't find a better example to state my point.
