Good things can have bad outcomes. Bad things can have good outcomes. it's just one of the many unwritten laws that somewhere deep down we all know to be true. No matter how much examples, how many brain teasers and how many discussions it will always come down to that. |
I don't fully agree with that statement that good or bad is personal views, ofcourse it is true to some point but as you said this is usually based on culture (mostly I would say atleast). So it's not totaly up to the induvidual..
And if you're talking about the social view on moral right and wrong it normally breakes down to if you hurt somebody but your self or not, but drug using is usually seen as morally wrong but you only hurt yourself don't you?
But I'm asking what YOU think, not what's what but what YOU think makes an action good or bad, is it mostly based on the acctuall action or the reason you do the action you do?
Do you honestly think that a career criminal think of himself as evil? But never the less, he is still viewed as evil by society isn't he?
