Know Thyself through RIGHT AND WRONG
Right is right,
even if everyone is against it,
and wrong is wrong,
even if everyone is for it.

I believe in gut feelings. I believe our bodies know when something is off. That pit in your stomach, when the hairs on your arms stand up, when you listen a little deeper and are more aware than normal. I had an older sibling give me advice when I started ‘going out’: 1. the first thing you do when you arrive at a celebration is find the second exit/entrance to the establishment, 2. have a pre-approved meet-up-spot/plan-B plan with at least one reliable associate ‘just in case’, and 3. pay attention to your Spidey senses; when they tell you to go………get pizza.
Instinctually this ‘sense’ exists in every animal, a necessity to many for survival; but like all muscles this sense can atrophy in those that fail to use it. Some humans have mastered the ability to ignore such feelings, but I believe they still feel them. I think even the biggest narcissist ‘feels’ when they are doing something wrong like everyone else, they are just able to rationalize that whatever advantage the act supplies them with is worth any corroding effects to the parts of them that are still decent.
End of the day, I concur with Mr. Penn:
Right is right,
even if everyone is against it,
and wrong is wrong,
even if everyone is for it.
I would replace the period for a comma and add the following line to the end.
because everyone feels it.
I do not believe Right and Wrong are subjective. What do YOU think?
