Here is a good one.
How do u difrence betwen good and bad.
If a bad action can bring something good what kind of action is it?
I have heard a lot of sentences like, why God permits bad things to happen, well maybe they are not bad as we think they are. Maybe it is possible that there is no good and bad, it is only...?
What do u think?

There is only right and wrong choices. If it works out great! If not rethink some of your choices. It is possible to direct your thoughts, using positive thinking, in order to get the best possible result.

Which wrong choice did a baby make if it dies?

Are you referring to good and bad as a result of one's action or good and bad as something intrinsic in human actions?

"Good" and "Bad" are the dichotomies on a scale.

While some things hit the extreme and can be deemed "absolutely good" or "absolutely bad", most are in the gray area in between and vary greatly between people because of our perceptions of them.

It depends if a good thing come of a bad action it is still a bad action but a good outcome

realy it depends on the perspective of the person weather it was good or bad i dont think you can Diferenciate between good and bad in a descusion as people will have different views and lookes at the outcome but you can make personal decisions.

But all in all no matter how you look at it you need both.

Nindzha,

The question regarding what is bad or good depends on your moral compass and the basis of one's own personal philosophy. Many questions can be right or wrong but not all things are subjective. If a person likes the taste of italian food to that of greek is that wrong, of course not. Some things are not morally based beliefs. Everyone has a moral compass as to which to determine what is good or bad. The question you ask is very deep and not something that is resolved quickly. It takes time in determining one's philosophy.

As an example the moral relativist would say that everyone is right and no one is wrong because there is no absolute truth, so do whatever you want as long as you do not cause harm to anyone else. So if that is the case is killing wrong if there is no objective truth, is stealing wrong as the same way? If there is no objective truth then how does a moral relativist determine what constitutes "harming" someone else. If you decide in your own life that it is ok to kill another human being in certain circumstances then it is ok to do so. Well is it ok for one person to say that killing is wrong and the other say it is ok to kill in certain circumstances? That would lead to chaos, because everyone would walk around determining for themselves, in what circumstances is it right to kill another human being and those circumstances would be different for everyone and can everyone be right and no one be wrong?????

Which brings us to the point, God as creator of everything that exists as we know it, created us as human beings, because we do not have the knowledge to create ourselves, and I am not talking about the physical human body. I am referring to the human person, the mind, soul which exists within the body. So if we can not create the human person, something bigger than ourselves had to in some way create us, as beings. Therefore, as God created us in His image and likeness, meaning giving us the ability to choose between good and bad. So if using God as a moral compass in basing one's personal philosophy, one can say, as the laws given to us by God, there is an objective truth, known as God and in following the laws of God we must discern through history and what is written as to what is right and wrong and always strive to do good and avoid bad. As far as God allowing bad things to happen, people have the freewill to choose good or bad and we as people have that choice to make in our actions and thoughts. God does not want bad things to happen, but we have the freewill to choose what we do and say, good or bad, such as killing and stealing.

Things happen in this world that we cannot control, are they bad things or good things? Is an earthquake good or bad? It cannot be bad or evil, it just simply is, just as a sunset or sunrise is. They exist as a part of the created world or universe. Why they happen there are scientific reasons but if it is created outside of our control then it is somehow a part of this creation and we have no way on knowing the philosophical reasons why. We can explain how an earthquake happens but the question of why may never be answered because we cannot understand the existence of God and the created world around us, just to know that something exists outside of our existence that created all that we know and things like, earthquakes and sunsets will happen as they exist in the natural laws of our existence here on this earth.


I hope this helps, by no means does it answer you question but it may open up other doors and questions.

Someone said this. I'd check but I'm too lazy. " There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so."

Hamworld,

Good quote, it's from "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare.
