Perennial Questions

"When thinking about this first question "Who is writing the script of your life?" My first feeling is confusion. Immediately I think of free will vs. predetermination, fate and fortune but I do not think of a "who." There couldn't possibly be a who determining the outcome of my life. A "who" is a human and I would hope that something a bit more divine than a human would be involved. If anything, it is a "what" or even more likely it is not even a "thing" at all. I am more apt to believe that there is something far more spiritual than what any one, or many humans together could perceive and agree that some describable thing has its hand in all. I would rather it remain forever disagreeable. The script of my life seems to be written by the whims and contradictions of the ever colliding oppositions of the human realm. 

As for the question, "Who's to say what's right?" I cannot even begin to answer. When I think "what's right" I think of morality and when I think of morality I think of value systems and the beginning of social institutions. Everything is either "right" or "wrong" through comparison and not innately within whatever is being judged. Pre-Socratic thinker Heraclitus writes, "They would not know the name of justice, were it not for these things." I take this into mind when I consider the ideas of right and wrong and how they may have came to be and dug such deep roots into our language as humans in society. All things, even opposites, come from one another and it is difficult to decide who can say what is right or wrong when one who is able to speak can only say one thing at a time. As humans we have entered into societies, and in these days, ones with great economic and governmental influence. This requires rules and regulations for conduct but those are only on the basis of what we constructed. For one to be able to decide "meta" rules and regulations is nearly unfathomable for we did not create the universe, and could not possiblly comprehend all the details of its creation in order to make a single decision. Of course one can say another "greater" knows the details and can construct the regulations, but only through the mouth of a human can they communicate. The innerworkings of the human are far too much of an enigma to take such an utterance to be as pure as its origin may be. 

None of this is written is pessimism rather in unwavering belief and faith in another something that someone has never been able to capture with human words and ideas.
