In a society where everyone is “entitled to their opinion”, what place is there for Right and Wrong?
As long as we have or want to have a society, there will be places for both opinions (which will and should vary) and absolutes or laws (such as ‘right & wrong’). From an individual’s point of view, the opinion is a personal and private thing that may be expressed openly or kept secret. From the entire society’s point of view, RIGHT & WRONG, and all of the allowances and restrictions that go with them, must be there and must be clearly stated for all to know, so that each and every member of the society can and will understand how the rest of society will treat any given action. Opinions deal with thought while ‘right & wrong’ deals with actions … we all think something and we all do something … although we may think what we want, we must do as our society accepts.
