So, I’ve been chatting with my buddies lately, and it’s turned into a bunch of debates about right and wrong. I think I have a pretty solid moral compass, I’m not bragging haha, but most people I know can’t really explain why something’s right or wrong without getting all circular or contradicting themselves.

So, how do you figure out what to do? No judgment, just curious. I’ll share my thoughts below.

Thanks!

Edit: Oh, all you lil’ philosophers have brought me a cornicopia of thoughts and ideas. I’m going to take my time responding, I’m like Treebeard, never wanna be hasty.

    • don’t be an asshole
    • everything is allowed as long as nobody is getting hurt
    • act when you see something wrong
    • when you are able to help do so
    • in all other cases mind your own business

      Context is important here. Oftentimes someone is getting hurt, you just don’t know who or when. A very fine line on this bullet.
