Always interesting to me what someone "takes away" from discussion ...
"Doing the 'right thing(s)' is a malady in that there will always be argument over
what is 'right' by the opposing parties in a multicultural world/society.
It makes me wonder where or how we ever got the idea that 'multi-cultural' was
a *right* thing."
What is *right* seems to me to "boil down" to some basic things:
- is it "right" to take someone's life ?
- is it "right" to steal from someone ?
- is it "right" to inhibit another's freedom, or happiness ?
Simple basic things that are found in the Ten Commandments, when you think on it ?
What are the *natural consequences* of acting otherwise ?
- losing one's own life through retribution or revenge
- losing one's own tools and sustenance to compensate
- losing one's own health and God-given opportunity to survive
Do we really need more *law* than those simple ancient admonishments ?
Are not all societies and "culture" based on those simple natural laws ?
I wonder ...
Of course we can always intellectualize and make it complicated.
That is something we know how to do, us humans.
