when is something right?
It is simpler than you might think to know something is right. Feelingsomething is right mibitgravithy, meaning if you have never felt it's opposite you may not notice. "... It knows not how it sounds..." according to Annie Lennox. Last night "Anonymous" was right, and this evening "Terra Nova" was right. Because, I found myself agreeing with everything.
There are a number of things to choose from constantly, but when we choose the right one, the example I gave was in video, when we choose the right one we feel right about it, if you ever have chosen the wrong you will feel a distinct difference between it and what is right.
Then, our tas hs been made much easier by having things like scriptures or organized religon tell us what to choose, so that we do not have to choose the wrong one or ever feel it to know the right.
I will explin it in terms that are easier to understand. When we are feeling well, or healthy, we are happy. When we feel sick we are miserable. Some people teach how to always be healthy. and really, it is when we feel sick that we realize how much better it is to be healthy, so we teach our children to be healthy and use memorized methods t do this. Yeh, we are happier, but being happy really wasn't the purpose of being healthy, as being miserable isn't the helpful part of getting sick. It is just related, it reminds me of a stargate episode, but I'll spare you, it was simply about a circumstance that exsisted to protect the people by killing themselves, though itwas not the purpose that they believed.
So, though religon might be called any number of things, anything that teaches us to chose the right things is good happiness is a side-effect of doing what is right, not the reason to do or not do it.
I was specifically thinking in terms of movies right now, and how my religon teaches me not to watch rated R movies, and onemight think what the heck does a religon think? There is no religious jurisdiction over what I watch, and there are some "wrong" thing to watch that might make us feel happy.
