How do we know what is right (moral)?
I have always believed that all human carry around the innocence they had from when they were babies. Although many lose much of their innocence as they get older, they still carry it deep inside their heart. As I approached the question of morality, I have believed it might be different for each individuals. The range of morality might differ for people depending on how much their innocence is left. Confusing? Let me introduce some examples.
A boy wanted attention from his peers. He throws a rock at a stray cat walking around. I'm pretty sure some feeling struck him as the cat fell in pain. It was his innocence notiying him that his action was not "right".
An emotionless criminal murders a person. Due to his lack of innocence, he wouldnt notice his action isnt right. However, many people who approach this story would comment "that is not right". This is because their innnocence is telling them such action is not right and that they should not commit such cruelty.
I believe the concept of morality shouldn't be approached from a wordly view, but be approached from a personal view. People should acknowledge the fact that each individual's concept of "right and wrong" is different.
