DO RIGHT AND WRONG STILL EXIST AND COMMON SENSE?

I Have Come To The realization That Absolute Right And Wrong No Longer Exist

by Dave Daubenmire

 One of the most difficult things about growing older is adapting to the new-fangled ideas that people come up with.

I suppose it has always been that way, the idea that each new generation has different views on just about everything.  But I think that things are really different now than they were when I was a kid.  Although things were certainly different when I was a child most young people held the same values as their parents.

At least, until the massive social upheavals that occurred during the turbulent sixties.  In my lifetime I have watched basic morality turned on its head.   Back in the gold-ole-days of the Beatles and Bonanza, at least we had a common sense and agreement on things that were right and things that were wrong.  That is no longer the case.

Morality today is nothing more than an opinion.  As long as one can justify in his/her own mind WHY something is moral, that nagging conscience is more easily soothed and the sense of guilt that accompanies immoral behavior is more easily assuaged. Sadly, like so many others my age, I have come to the realization that the idea of absolute right and wrong no longer exist.  Truth has become an opinion.

So, just to soothe my own soul I thought I might take the liberty to stumble back into the corners of my mind and uncover the pillars that kept most Americans anchored a couple of generations ago.

For you see, the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.

  Coningsby: Or The New Generation And, The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings, and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans. — Benjamin Disraeli, Speech at Aylesbury, Great Britain, September 10, 1870
