In a world that has no clear right or wrong
We underestimate the power of absolute ethics.
With no foundation the logical answer is chaos.
However everyone still has a set standard within themselves.
Thus the birth of Moral relativism.
Where the moral thing is dependent the on individual.
We cannot determine what is ultimately right and wrong
Only what is just for a specific situation.
We can kill if we are threatened to be killed
... but we still condemn those who kill out of any other reason.
Is our life more valuable than the aggressor? just because he wishes our death does that give us anymore right to live?
because really what makes us more deserving to life? Who decides this?
ourselves? but then we run into conflicts amongst ourselves.
There seems to be no answer.
We jump back and forth between absolute and relative ethics according to our own needs.
It is wrong to cheat because it is wrong.
It is ok to cheat NOW because everyone is doing it.
To be the light is to live a life with the standards God has bestowed upon us.
This is a GIFT a way to live the most excellent way.
Not a restrictive set of rules.
We must understand that by living by these standards good things will shine through for all to see and to be blessed.
