One of them thar 1 am questions that keeps one up at night turning your brain in circles.
Simply put, is good and right mutually exclusive? If something, or someone, is good, does that make that action, or that person, automatically right (Right as in correct, not right wing)? If not, just what is the difference between the two?
Now for me, I kept going back to the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few, (or the one). For me, this shows that a right action (elevating the many over the few or one) may not be a GOOD action. The usual trolley question shows this off perfectly. The one you send the trolley at would not see your action as good (and even if so, it's unlikely that his or her family would), but saving lives would seem to be a correct course of action.
But then we get into the thicket of defining what would be a good and/or right action since it seems to be relative to your own position. Then again, that way leads to an endless loop of moral relativism where you might as well conclude 'screw it, I'ma gonna hit someone over the head and have my way with that gender of preference as it's good and right for me.'
That, however, sounds fairly wrong too.
So where do you fall on this? Same, different, how so?
Go!
