Do all the people know the difference between right from wrong?

One would think everyone knows, but it’s not a bad idea to find out where and from whom they found right to be right and wrong to be wrong.

There are school systems, colleges and there are the many state and federal laws. The list is probably endless. But again, the question arises, where did the school systems, and the various lawmakers, etc., learn right from wrong?

I asked my wife that question. Her answer was from her parents, and in all probability from the church services which they attended regularly.

There is the true answer: The church services, which teach the Ten Commandments. Every right answer pertaining to our conduct is in the Ten Commandments, and there is no one alive who will or can dispute that fact and be right.

It might be a good thing to wonder about those who do not have a religious background. Where did they learn right from wrong? The answer is, they chose that which was most favorable pertaining to their situations. This is one that has a tendency to be wrong and chosen to be right.

This tendency appears in the freedom of choice. This is when a woman becomes pregnant and feels that life would be too difficult if she were to bring the pregnancy to fruition.

So her choice is that which is favorable to her situation, and that is an abortion. This is as wrong as wrong can be.

There have been many favorable situations, which have swayed many to the wrong choice. But there is never a situation, which would justify terminating the life of a developing human being.
