for me,sometimes I think there is really no right or wrong of an event.Each one's opinon stands on their own side,studying things in different angles or on behalf of different positions.Lots of things we eveluate is based on our traditional ways ,if some opinions are differ from the old ones, it will hard to be accepted imediately.I'm a person who respect each thought,while sometimes it will influence my decition .That's terrible

[b]Absolutely yes there is no right or wrong of each one's opinion. But, there are certain things, which are unchangeable, for example,
1. sugar is sweet
2. sea water is salty
3. sky is blue...
likewise,
4. we should not be a false person
5. we should always do good
6. we should love one another
7. we should forgive one another
These are all things which are unchangeable.. if you negotiate these things then what is the point in no right or wrong of each one's opinion?? [/b]

[b]I think that you are pulling me for a good debate..
Opinion may be different to each person, but, right is what is right and wrong is what is wrong...
Every thing in this world is absolute only...not exact I accept..
But, if you are harsh person, will many people like you? Or will you like by yourself that you are harsh?
If you cannot forgive a person, then what is the use of sorry? what is the use of forgiveness, what is the use of life??
Think about it...[/b]

Interesting post...
But are you sure that the things you mention are unchangeable? Sugar isn't sweet if your tongue (taste buds, whatever) is knackered; freshwater seas are not salty; the sky isn't blue in Manchester (it's always grey and raining), nor is it blue at the North Pole, nor is it blue a couple miles up in the atmosphere!
Likewise, it was once "unchangeable" that the Sun revolved around the Earth - but scientists exposed this particular falsehood through acquisition of new evidence.
I don't think there are ever any absolutes.
Who defines "good", for instance? Who defines love?
Who decides what requires forgiveness?

I don't think there are any absolutes. From this perspective, everyone's opinion is equally valid.
But I think it's important to set such opinions in context in order to understand them better. This is what history - my subject of choice - is all about.
In a democracy, the consensus should determine what is defined as "right" and "wrong" for the purposes of not descending into primitive anarchy. For example, I think most civilised states would define random acts of violence, or killing, as "wrong".
(Although even this isn't an "absolute" - e.g. capital punishment, self-defence, war.)
All these concepts will naturally evolve as power structures in society compete to define ideals. This is quite understandable and it should be the duty of every citizen to participate in this process, in order to break down the influence of corrupt institutions.

you are right. there is no right and wrong decision. every living human has a diffrent way of thinking and logical reasoning. everyone has their own opinion. We must respect everyone if we want respect from every one. All opinions must be considered. it is not necessary to stick to one opinion and get influenced.

As far as I am concerned, I do agree with your idea. I think there is no right or wrong of each one's opinions, too.Everyone has his own thoughts, so what should be wrong. So there is no wrong, it j can be what we define it. it just adjust bu ourselves.Happy mylot.

In my opinion, there is no right or wrong opinion, just like you said Zerozll. People ask other people for their opinions because they want to know what the think about it. Therefore, each and every person's opinion about something is unique and should be respected by everyone. We can never ask someone for their opinion and tell them that "You're wrong!" . Because of the differing opinions that each of us give, there might be some arguing on what is right and what is wrong but we must remember to respect each other's feelings and opinions about a subject.

Everyone has their own perspective. Sometimes they might think that it is okay for them, but for others it is not. Some things may not be okay to you but to them its okay. Respect for what they think of things. You have different personalities with each other. So try to understand why is it like that to them. Put yourself in their shoes.

Yeah, I do think that too. I always think different people have different perspective and opinion, it's hard to say who's right and who's wrong. History has already proven that many new ideas couldn't be accepted when everyone else was still having the old concept, and the new ideas were always being treated as the wrong ones.
I always do not like to limit myself to what others said is right or wrong, I always prefer to judge it by myself, even thought some people may comment that I am not right. Perhaps I am quite stubborn, but I still do not think I have done certain things wrongly.

There is no right or wrong, no up or down, and no in or out! Everything is relevant.
If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it - the tree falls silently. The grass is not green, it is just appearing green, it is only reflecting the color green from the light spectrum. Nothing in this life is as it seems, it's just as we make it. Isn't that just terrible?

Yes some things are a matter of perspective. Two people can have totally opposite ideas and be right at the same time. People have their own intelligence and judgement to look at things in the way they want to and therefore I believe that you have to be responsible for your own decision making.
Ofcourse you can take opinions and advice from others in order to get a better picture or understanding of the situation but ultimately you have to make your decision yourself. Taking responsiblity and accountability is very important or you will get manipulated. Since we make judgements based on relative truth as opposed to absolute truth, which is hard to find out, it's only fair that you do whatever you think is the best to do.

hi there zerozll!
I got your views right and someone's opinion should always be respected. Since everyone in here have their own views in different topics/situation, we are free to share anything. Which means, different point or knowledge might be established. So I think everyone should be open-minded and knows to listen to other's point of view. With that, it is normal to have arguments or misunderstanding but, everyone must keep in mind that we can communicate with others in a healthy way without offending someone or hurting other's feelings. We cannot push someone's belief and we cannot convince others to take our side all the time. As you say it, there is no right or wrong to each and everyone's opinion.
Happy Lotting!

Yes, agreed. Everyone has their own opinion. However, when majority agrees or disagree with our opinion, somehow it does influence one into thinking along with the majority. It really depends on how one would like to stick to their own stands and thoughts.

When you think something is right, it may not be right for others too. So the best way to judge it is try and find out how many people get benefited by the action.
If the number of people getting benefited by your action is more than one(i.e you +another), then what you are doing is beneficiary.
But, the other thing to keep in mind is, is it legal? Your action must be legal, and should abide by the laws of the country or place you are in.
Then whatever you do that follows the above two things are right, even if 1000 people question you.
