Right and Wrong.

Who is to say what is right or wrong? What makes someone think 'yes, that's right' or 'no, that's wrong'.

Sometimes it falls under the category of common sense. We just think it is obvious to do something a certain way. Well maybe I don't want to do that. Maybe I like to sip coke with a spoon, or read upside down, or spin in circles to entertain myself. I do all these things, does that mean I'm mad?

And what does it mean to be mad? Just because someone does not think in the same process as you does not mean they cannot reach the same, similar or better answer. The ways in which we think evoke our individuality. But when someone has to stop being who they care because it may seem 'weird' to someone else, then that just means you have an alternative thought process and it isn't wrong to think that way.

Did you know that there are places in the world where clocks turn counter-clockwise and the numbers are reversed? It's not wrong, its different! Just because a minority possess clocks that tock and tick, and ours tick and tock, you can't say that theirs or ours is better.

Another example is keyboards, why aren't they in alphabetical order? They used to be but because of the keys getting stuck together, a man chose to be different and rearranged the keys. People thought he was crazy, but now everyone is using his alteration of someone else's creation.

And finally, who can tell me what is right? People are constantly judging and strictly separating the rights and wrongs of our society. There is no right or wrong, only difference. There are reasons for everything. There is malice behind actions, there is always history before an event.

Don't judge, don't care, don't change.
These are the morals.

i totally agree although who says what is right and wrong usually comes from legislation (law)or in general where your coming from the right and wrong come from public perception as you and i should both know media last year we learnt about how people are percieved in media e.g. the nerd ect. all that stuff relates to what you have said. So many people are afraid to be different and its mainly because of how people who are different are percieved .. but remember those who are different and are willing to challenge against perception are going to gain all the focus and be someone no matter how big or small they are in the world. It was a good write chris i like how you have expressed yourself in this one :) keep it up.
