RIGHT AND WRONG
How can we do the right thing if we disagree about what is right or wrong? All these disagreements are the result of bad intentions, because every child quickly understands throughout their development the difference between right and wrong, and the consequences of each option, and due to the speed of assimilation it even seems that we are born with this implicit distinction. in our natures.
It takes longer, however, and with no guarantee of happening, for us to learn the values of reason and proportion, virtues that, as a practical set, guide us regarding what is right or wrong in dimensions beyond our particular needs and desires, because despite Although some things are right for us individually, if seen from broader and more inclusive points of view they become promoters of evils that, ultimately, would also negatively affect us in particular.
And this does not mean that right and wrong are relative to the point of view, because right will always be what promotes benefits to the greatest possible number of sentient beings, while wrong is what, to promote selfish benefits, is done to the detriment for the good of the majority.
There is nothing relative about it.
