What's right?

This question presupposes a few things, such as...

+ "Right" as a concept can be absolute

Here's why I ask:

I grew up as a Christian fundamentalist, left my denomination, began searching for the Truth. Every day I find myself more at sea, less certain about much of anything.

I just want to do the right thing with my life, and I'm finding it hard going to discover just what that is.

I know there are many answers to this, such as:

+ You have to determine this yourself
+ Accept what the Bible says
+ There is no Truth, no Right
+ You have to have faith

I hope that this discussion doesn't descend into name-calling. I'm not interested in "Listen to me, because I'm right; I know the Truth!"

I am interested in how others determine what Right, what Truth is, and whether these are important in daily life or just interesting topics to discuss.

Thanks to all who may find this and reply.

Peace (for which I constantly search),

When lost at sea, hang on to the life ring you have in front of you, until you can climb aboard a vessel of sea worthiness. That my friend is simply common sense.

Nope, I won't tell you which way to go. For how do I know what is right for you? I only know that you have something in front of you for support (you said it yourself), and that it has held you up. Work with that until you find something better. But at least you got something to keep you afloat...that is better than many can say.

Hi presser_kun--

What wonderful responses you have gotten. I hope they have been helpful to you.

What's right? Only God really knows. I believe that God is Love--the highest Love. I put my faith in this Love, both personally and for everyone. I believe that Love will prevail in every situation and in every heart. It may not be obvious today, right now at this moment. But I am able to see it now.

This faith is not blind--neither is Love. It is a mutual understanding (even though I don't understand it all completely yet).

InPeace,
InLove
