we define our own reality. the values of good and bad, right and wrong, are defined by us as individuals. right and wrong can mean very different things to different people. which one of them is 'right'? they are both right for they speak their truth.
this leads us to conclude that right and wrong have no solid existence on their own. they are just empty shells waiting to be filled with meaning, meaning which we create in our own minds, and which is individual.
many people can agree that something is a certain way, but does that make it true? when many people believed that the earth was flat, did this make it true? the point is, things just happen, things just
are. there is no need to label them good or bad and sort through all lifes experiences in this manner, for it will only limit our experience and we will cause ourselves unnecessary suffering by nonacceptance.
We give events/things the meaning we
choose to give them. so depending on what meaning we choose, we create our reality, because it determines what reactions and emotions it will bring out in us.
so, to sum it up, right and wrong have no actual existence outside the human mind. they exist for us if we choose them to, based on our definitions of them.
i hope that clarifies it a bit.
