What is the right thing to do?

Just co-pas and little edit, from a stranger and perhaps a friend wanna be.

What is "right"?
Owning a slave isnt right today,
But 1000 years ago, it was rightful.
Even more years, if you were a king, you could just fuck a random woman, rape her and all, and you would have her as your wife - this, according to Bible, was the right thing to do.
Now? I dont think so.
In Indonesia, being a Muslim is a right thing to do - or at least being religious.
Rewind a thousand years ago, being Hindu was the right thing to do. Even more years, being an animist was the right thing to do.
Now, succeeding in life economically is the right thing to do. As well as being a doctor or an engineer.
Centuries ago, being a mayor was the right thing to do, as well as being a good wife who stayed her whole life in a kitchen.
Not even a century ago, smoking was the right thing to do when you were sick.
Now, by not smoking, is the right thing to do when you are sick.
Now, war isnt the right thing to do to solve a big problem.
Centuries ago, war is the right thing to do to solve a big problem.
Lets stop seeing it from time to time,
Lets start seeing it from place to place.
In Indonesia, being virgin until marriage is the right thing to do.
In Russia, not being virgin after 18yo is the right thing to do.
In Indonesia, not criticizing religions is the right thing to do.
In Europe, criticizing religions is the right thing to do.
In Sweden, a rapist treated with psychological and social treatment is the right thing.
In Iran, a rapist treated with stones to the head until death is the right thing.
Whether you see it throughout the time or place,
Whether you see it from my point of view or else,
I dont think we can know the truly "right".
Or maybe, just maybe,
Rightness itself doesnt exist,
And we are deluding ourselves, the rightness should exist.
In conclusion,
There is no right path,
There is only a path you choose.
