Perfection

Small children have no perception of good and evil. They have no past experiences to refer to as to tell them what is right, and what is wrong. Right and wrong is not built into people, it is something like social etiquette, where it must be picked up as a child grows into adulthood. Therefore, someone has to have told them what is right, and what is wrong.

Those who did tell them, someone else had to tell those people.


Now, you can probably see where I'm going. The chain goes on and on, until we reach the distant past, where we have no recordings of history. From the moment one caveman hit one caveman over the head with a rock, someone declared it wrong.

But who did? From Christianity's viewpoint, it was God. But as the famous Latin quote goes, Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?, or "Who Watches the Watchers?"

Yes, this may seem like blasphemy to some (man, I love that word), and I'm pretty sure that this might offend quite a few as well, if they ever get around to reading it (I mean come on, this blog was pretty much meant for my eyes only anyway), but if he was the sole creater, then he must have made up what is wrong and what is right. How do you define what is wrong and what is right? How do you know if this is really right? After all, everyone who has taught us these morals are those who learned them as children themselves.

The only answer to this would be "Because he said so," but now, really. Is this a good answer?

I have no answer to this. Perhaps one day I will, but not today. Not at 2 in the morning.
