How do we decide what is truly right or wrong?

If you're a individualist that's unswayed by group consensus and standards, then it's more probable you would find what's true and what's not. If you're the contrary then it's more likely you would conform to populace standards and ideologies.

The conformist rarely think for themselves and never question the reality they live in. Whilst a individualist is more prone to questioning things, and finding fault in the conformist consensus of reality. ATS as of now always find faults in the general consensus of reality, and I would venture and say the general ATS populace are individualists.

Conformist are overly reliant, and believe if the majority thinks a supposed truth is a truth, then it must be true. This way of thinking has faults and we see these faults prevalent today via religion, group consensus of sexual orientation, and more. Conformism isn't always an effective way to discern reality unless their truths are proven with rationale or reasoning.

The key method towards finding truth is being a individual and question the reality you live in, and then proceed to discern with rationality/reasoning.

I totally agree - there is no such thing..

Our world (both individual and collective) is a holographic reflection of what we think, believe, say, and do. There are no exceptions to this.

When we get caught up in the words good and bad we start to judge ourselves and others - and this creates separation. Separation is the ultimate trap and distraction. Instead of focusing on looking within to identify why we attracted or created something that we do not want to create and focusing on turning that into something that we do want to create, we focus on the guilt or shame or judgment or anger or sadness that we are associating with whatever we are labeling as "bad". which by the way is what the media's main goal is - to keep us fighting and pointing fingers at each other instead of using the power that we all have within us to create something that is better than what we are creating right now.

If we replace good and bad with the words desirable or not desirable it removes us from a place of separation and puts us into a place of accountability and power.

nothing is neither right nor wrong except thinking makes it so.

ethics and morality are based on the unity/undividedness of the infinite universe.
