I have to disagree with this bit of your statement. I know right from wrong and do not have power. Deciding right or wrong, good or bad is up to the individual. Not some government power. If people would open their eyes and hearts, they wouldn't be sucked into believing what they are told to believe. Power only has "power" because the people bestow it.
as you said... You have your own right or wrong....
WITHOUT power the world will not acknowledge it.
In an ideal world deciding right or wrong is upto an individual but in reality it is not so.
For example.. American voting ratio is somewhere near 55% right? Do correct me if i am wrong.
anyhow, 55% percent vote and the division is near 55 -45 right?
So the president is elected by 25-30% people.
What about those that did not agree? Were they wrong?
If they were not wrong why is their chosen candidate not in power?
No, this was an "election". a direct battle for choosing who is right, who had the right to rule.
A contest to test power. Democracy destroys individuality just as much as any other form of government.
While you may have your own right and wrong the fact remains that when it well be required the one more powerful well be the one who is right, you will find yourself proven wrong.
Another example...
People die from starvation our diseases, right?
But isn't there something called the right to live?
Then why does a rich guy has it, he will get treated by paying some good amount while the poor person will be refused treatment.. why?
Because the rich guy has the right to live, after all, money is a form of power.
There can be more than one RIGHT... The one supported by powerful people is the "righter" one, rest are all wrong. The world is not black and white.
Take your constitution for example.. Does it not define what is right in your country?
Were you the one who wrote it? No
Only the most powerful people of your country wrote it and will continue doing so.
Who gave them the right to decide what is right and wrong? Power did.
a few years ago some countries threw away TONS of wheat in the ocean, why?
Because keeping then would lower the price and the inventory costs were high.
Never mind the fact that there were people starving. But as usual they were right.
might makes right... If you have power you are right.. Else what you consider right will remain right in your mind not in the real world.
