People have always made choices sense then dawn of time.Right or wrong they may be.
But how do we really now if they are right or if they were wrong? A wrong choice can be made for the right reason , does that make that choice wrong?Or,a wrong choice made for the right reason?
And how are we to judge this?
In many ways it depends on on your views of right and wrong.Maybe you see it in black are white.And maybe you see the world in shades of gray.
People have this in there mind this whole time there trying to make a decision, maybe one that can that can change their life or maybe even -end it.Some people have made the wrong choice and are tainted by its results for the rest of their life. An those who pick the 'right' choice not always in good faith either.Some can simply not make a choice,but nobody can teeter for the rest of their life. They will fall one way, weather they like it or not.
Many people go to court saying "I only stole that car to get my dying wife to the hospital!"would that man need to go to jail?Or should he free?
Its up to us to deiced.

this is one of the oldest debates of mankind, and one of Socrates's most famous.
we know which things are morally wrong- killing, stealing, lying, all that. but sometimes it's not too clear what's wrong and what's right. you can't say that lying is always bad, because in certain situations it may be absolutely necessary. it depends on your intentions, i guess. doing the right thing for the wrong reasons can make it the wrong thing. and you can't always go with your gut or "follow your heart", either, cuz sometimes your heart is just plain wrong. usually, your heart and your head are telling you to do two very different things. making decisions based on emotions instead of intelect is very stupid, but very tempting.
basically, you know something is righ tif you both feel that it's right, and that you know intelectually that it's right. and if you just feel it emotionally, chances are that it's wrong. though there is definitely a lot more to discuss on this highly contraversal topic.
Yes. Truly puzzling. Doing something wrong for the right reason or doing something right for the wrong reason. This is something that mankind will beasking until the end of time.
We have people who try to figure out if what they did was right or wrong. We call it the court system. But they're the closest we'll ever get, and they're not even right 100% of the time.
Like I said this question will pester mankind until the end of time. We'll just never know.
