I'll give you one example from my life!. I was dating the most beautiful, desireable woman in the world once!. She wasn't sure if she wanted to marry me or another guy who was also interested in her!. I didn't want there to be any doubt in her mind when we got married, so I encouraged her to get to know him!. She did, and 3 years later they got married!. I gave her the happiness she wanted at an extreme cost to my own!.

To me that was the right thing to do!. Everyone else thought I was an idiot for letting her go, but I didn't want to marry me with doubts in their mind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If we believe that morality comes from society (and evolution) then what is expected by our society IS what is right!. Right is a fluid concept and it would make no sense to defend some transient version that our imagination has frozen in time!. The problem is that we're remembering and defending a different society with different expectations!.

If we truly believe that right transcends society expectations, then we actually are moral absolutists and must, by logic, believe in God!.

Here's a beautiful Prayer:

God grant me the serenity,
To accept the things I cannot change,
COURAGE to change the things I can, and
Wisdom, to know the difference!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It comes from conviction to listening to your conscience and following it, as opposed to seeking the approval of the world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
