Promp:Right or Wrong?

To know the path of right and wrong one must we must know how we define right and wrong. Morality for must people is defined by our past events, family and friends. Now when I am facing any decision I have many choices I can make. I can go the easy way verse the hard way. The “right” way verse the “wrong” way. To do so I look at the cost to benefit ratio. If I feel it cost to benefit ratio for lying is ninety percent better than the cost to benefit ratio of honesty I may be deceitful. Like when a women ask “How do I look.” while I am working on some project that in my opinion is important. I may think the dress, hair style, or the make-up is not working for her today so to get her to leave me to my work I will say “You look nice”. Now if I had said she did look nice she in all probability would have stood there ask me question after question when I really did not have the time to talk. Sometimes depending on the people standing around me may swing my decision one way or another. Like if my family is around, I may be more truthful with my answers. While on the other hand if I am trying to impress some one like a new boss I may tell a little lie with the truth so that he or she will not look down on me in a negative way. So every decision is based on whether or not I will get more out of lying or by telling the truth.
Now many people that are poor will turn to stealing in order to survive. In doing so they will try to justify why they are doing wrong so they can feel that they are going right.
There is no true way of determining whether something is the right way or the wrong way. Some people use their religion while other like government uses the saying “The needs of the many out weight the needs of the few… or the one.” I prefer to use both to determine my right and wrong.
