Re: Right from wrong
[QUOTE]
is it necessary to experience everything before deciding whether its right or wrong? good or bad for you?
[/QUOTE]
Experience helps a lot but it isn't a necessary component. (I don't need to commit a murder to know that murder is wrong) However, in matters where the public opinion is generally more divided (drugs, pre-marital coitus etc) you often need to set your own morals/standards and I personally find it better to get some idea of what I would be missing before I decide to strike it off of my wishlist.
Every prespective matters. It is generally healthier to make an informed decision, based on information from multiple resources than follow a certain doctorine blindly on the basis of pure faith.
