But what are the actions/values of people today? We do not think uniformly, there are dissenting opinions. For simplicity we have two options A and B. Some want A, others want B. Is A right and why?
Its a really hard question to answer regardless of what A and B are.
Like, consider an individual named Beveryman who enjoys stealing instead of painting, and Jim from the previous case who enjoys painting. Beveryman is hindered if he doesnt steal, and Jim is hindered if Bevery does. So who is in the right here?
Now lets take it to an extreme. Lets have millions of people who divide equally among some generic options A and B. Who is to say what is right again, why is it right?
I feel we, as a society, must have a standard in which to say 'x' is right and have a way of enforcing the standard. If we do not, then we end up with Jim retaliating against Beveryman. On a larger scale, this means Jim's police vs Beveryman's police, or another way still, gang wars with -ev fights occuring continuously until one side is wiped out. But then, another gang/police arises to replace the old one (maybe 30 years later, there are more beverymen). More fighting and mindless violence. I think it is clear that this option must be avoided at all cost...especially if multiple gangs are each involved. But maybe im stretching...
