Explain in at least 200 words. “Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it, right is right even if no one is doing it.” Alexandra Paul
“Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it, right is right even if no
one is doing it” In life, we all have to make decisions, whether they are the right decisions or wrong decisions depends on the circumstances, time, place, and even your frame of mind and emotion at that moment. However, there are many basic notions of what is right and what is wrong. This basic understanding of what is right and wrong is common to all cultures, races, and religions. These help us to consider each other's actions and emotions, which in turn, allow us to coexist on a primary level. From my point of view, this statement "Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it, right is right even if no one is doing it." implies that being righteous and unrighteous does not depend on society and what most people do and believe. We knew in ourselves what is right and what is wrong morally, physically, and psychologically. However, most of us blindly follow some path because it's the trend of a certain time. We sometimes mixed up our emotions and thoughts that lead to perplexity. Their beliefs are not ours to follow. We should have our own stand wherein being righteous is right and being wrong because you're doing the opposite of their so-called righteousness is still correct. In conclusion, emotions lead to most of the people, not logic. That's how they're making those decisions at the moment. They're asking for help because they don't know. Don't do that. Instead, build your compass while you're rational, logical, and non-reactive, and then practice with that in mind every day. Trust your compass above all because you chose it while in a logical state, and it will allow you to respond instead of reacting. Before anything else, think for yourself. Build yourself a moral compass and live your life with that compass guiding you. Remember, no matter the situation, never let your emotions overpower your intelligence.
