Nothing to be done?

  I was told by a new friend that there's nothing that can be done about the current situation of things in society.


 Do I agree? Not at all. 
I strongly believe in only one thing. Murphy's Law or Sod's Law, if you prefer. That means, if anything can go wrong, it will. 

Wrong is only what is not in accordance with what is morally viewed by society as right. 
But who's to say what 'right' is or what 'morals' really are?

As humans, we differ from opinion. We can all agree that we see the wrong side up and that our brains are smart enough to flip the image for us. 
Does that necessarily make it so?

Consider:
Once upon a time, when I was a very small child, I came to an understanding that everyone my age and younger agreed that there was a man who watched me night and day, judged my actions based on his own moral agenda and if I did what was deemed as morally right in society, at the end of the year, I would be surprised with presents in abundance.
His name was Santa Clause.
But I was only fooled for a short period of time.

My point is, we are all placed in a room with four walls and a roof when we are about 4 to 6 years old  and told that the answer to 1 + 1 = 2 and that the sky is very much the color blue.
That doesn't mean that what we call 'school' is not teaching what is right, because the term 'right' is purely subjective.

I don't have many answers to the questions I ask.
Only clever remarks.

I encourage anyone brave enough, to simply consider what society deems as Right and Wrong. 
Does it comply with your very own moral understanding of things?

I hope not.
