Yes there is a right and a wrong!. The problem lies in where you get your definition of whats right and wrong and who makes the definition!. Who decides whats right and wrong!? The government!? Your religion!? There has to be a basis for determining whats right and wrong!. It cannot be left up in the air for each person to decide or government to decide!. We would all pretty much agree that if the government decided it was legal to smash in your neighbors car windshield whenever you want, we would all agree that even though it was legal it is wrong!. Why!? Or if the government decided that it was legal to kill your neighbor if he looked at you the wrong way again we would still all agree that even though it is legal it is wrong!. So who decides whats right and what is wrong!? hmmm!.!.!.!.!. Maybe you should do some investigating!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Everyone has their own interpretations of what's right, wrong, good, bad or indifferent so they can lie their way out of being in the wrong although most people know the difference!. Everything is negotiable!. even the law!. No one seems to like hearing or speaking the truth!. It's amazing how many people find it so easy to lie without regard to the truth!. I hate it when someone lies to me especially when they know that I know they're lying and then they deny lying!.
I don't think I'm doing very well at explaining what I mean here!.!.!.!.ya think!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, right-wrong, good-bad, truth-lie everything exists but rarely does there exists something which is a complete truth(/right/good) or a complete lie(/wrong/bad)!. Everything is ratio-ed out in the duality!.
Nothing is perfect! even truth or lie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you are bored, I'd recommend reading the Aim of Man, by Aristotle!. He talks mostly about good, what is good, and so on and so on!. Remember!. While reading his writings, he writes completely different!. He presents facts first, then at the very end, his thesis!. Enjoy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes there is good & bad etc etc!. One balances out the other!. Where there is evil there is good also!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
