Emotional Right & Wrong

Free will is a gift from God. It means human beings have been given the ability to choose between right and wrong.God doesn’t run our lives like a puppet show. and so we have to make our own choices each and every single moment in our lives we are put in situations were we have to choose and we have to pay for the paths we are to take and so thinking, believing and setting the rules are their main concern. The search for the truth (the right and wrong) is a tough one. It means asking the hard questions
What is right and wrong? The question seems to be very trivial but annoying.
still there are some facts or we can say some people refer to as facts constants no argument about them whatsoever but still what about the rest of situations what about the special cases and moreover what about other dimensions being put into consideration .
We are not free to do what suits us, but still we have to put things in context .Their only concern or we can say their main biggest concern is finding the truth (the right and wrong) and following it sticking to it for it will remain right and wrong at least for them (after searching, finding, analyzing and accepting…). The search for the truth is a tough one. It means asking the hard questions.
Some people give themselves the right to be angry; shouting sometimes even to be violent for it reflects how they feel .Then following the right and wrong might not appeal to be the solution. But there are no standards to what is right and wrong and still you can't stop people from feeling.
We are completely free to choose, but are not shielded from the consequences of our actions as they interact with the rest of the humans (also with free will).
Our own ethics must be built on revealed truth.

Salma,

Does free will contradict with destiny?

What is the aim of the subject, to accept the fact of right and wrong are relative and not constant?

Surprisingly No It doesnt but still Dstiny is destined and we are totally Free :-).

Yea the aim is to discuss the relativity of right and wrong and our tolerence and acceptence for it is so relative and by realising so the communication Channel between our differences would enhance,also the requirement for maturity to reach Your Own rules for You have to have one......

i once asked this question to a famous leading relegious moderate figure (Sheikh Sharawi), and his reply was ur destined from the day of birth till the day of ur death

However, ur free will is there to help you define your paths in life, add the ingredients/taste to the meal u were already provided by god (Destined life)

As for the right and wrong, i guess when it comes to being really free, people tend to dream they are free, living their fantasies of free will and actions in the world of movies and songs and musicals,,only a few succeed in REALLY PUTTING THIS INTO PRACTICE AND EXERCISING FREE WILL AS GENERATED FROM THEIR SPIRIT
