52. What is "wrong?"

Fri Apr 10, 2015, 06:23 PM

Apr 2015

Is it synonymous with "illegal," or with "immoral/disgusting/stupid or whatever?

I would have to confess to (long, long ago, far beyond any statute of limitations) having often done illegal things which I did not consider wrong, and sometimes wrong things that were within the law. And maybe a few things that were both wrong and illegal.

Which of those subsets am I supposed to be answering about?
