How does one measure what is right or wrong?
Form or definition allows us to perceive, delineate and to
make a difference. Without form good is relative defined according to one’s own
desire and whims thus the definition and attributes of good would fluctuate
according to our own dictates and temperaments. This would catalyse mass
confusion/…wait hasn’t it already?/
“A corrupt tree can never bring forth good fruits, therefore
the measuring rod of what is right and wrong is in the results of the action.” – His
Excellency Ben Ammi
Let’s take for example someone who
smokes. One argues it’s their right to smoke and no one must tell them what to
do / fair enough/ nevertheless it doesn’t
change the fact that when one gets sick and eventually dies ,one must then
think if it was the right thing to do.
It doesn’t involve your rights but
what does this action produce – that is how one measures what is right and what
is wrong. Definition frees us from the ordeal and trauma that indeterminacy and
formlessness creates.

Not
being able to differentiate between right and wrong is medically or
scientifically defined as insanity.
Can
we differentiate right from wrong when it comes to food we eat, company we keep
or the lifestyle we live?
I
think not, the majority of things we are exposed to in media are WRONG! The
majority of foods we are encouraged to eat are WRONG! The reasons we are given
to live complicated and unnatural lifestyles and then put a tagline of “It’s my
RIGHT!” becomes somewhat ironic. /LOL !/
Ironic
as a baker who bakes a cake but it comes out as a pudding, will he still
continue with his method or find a better way to improve and get the initial
result? It’s no use getting all worked up and emotional asking meaningless
questions such as ”who gave you the right to tell people what they do is wrong
or right” J
My intention came from a place to help, not destroy and therefore whether I
tell you or not it doesn’t change the motion, IT IS NOT RIGHT!
So
here I was, looking through a book I got for free and thinking to myself, who
is the target market for this publication /forgive me,
my mind is constantly at work, that is a good thing right?/ so
*BAM* I come across an article written, “ HELPING OTHER PEOPLE
CHEAT KEEPS OUR MARRIAGE HEALTHY”
I
stood there for a minute, staring at this article and thinking to myself /I hope
this is some kind of play on words/ to my dismay, it was not.
The
website, created by Noel Biderman, is geared toward married individuals looking
for an additional relationship /in other words, an affair/. As the public face of the company, the
former lawyer and sports agent has said he is a happily married father of two
and does not cheat himself.
Evidently
Noel understands the difference between right and wrong, he chose not to have
an affair yet strangely encouraged others to do so /now I know that aint right!/
Would
you trust this man with your life? I mean he has a good image: Happily married
man, with two children and 100% faithful to his wife, yet he leads other men
and woman to an evil ends. Society’s ignorance feeds his outlandish lifestyle.
Now
allow me to refer back to the Braysheet (Genesis) idea :
“Of
all the trees in the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of good and
evil though may not eat, or ye shall surely die”
Therefore
bringing it back to a simple understanding, it doesn’t matter that he tells
everyone what his “good” side is, the mere fact that he is proliferating
wrong/evil in other people’s lives makes me doubt his
sanity. In the realms of the absolute
does he know the difference?
Infidelity
has never had a positive aspect to it whether one paints it as an excuse of an
unhappy marriage, curiosity or the need for an adventure. Yet ironically our
president, who practices polygamy with wives who are willing to share him as a
husband is seen as wrong in our country, this website had the fastest sign-up
rate in South Africa /14 000 in 1 week!/, so I ask the
question again, do we understand the difference between right and wrong? If men/women
are only doing what they have been taught, what kind of institution has
produced such a mind?
So
much has been said in the media about this website and its founder and owner, I
implore you to continue this interesting and mindboggling issue right here – Is
what Noel Biederman doing right or wrong?
