If I could write my own rules about right and wrong I do not know if I would change very much about them. First of all I do not know the official rules of right and wrong. I think that the rules of right would be if it was contradictory to what the Bible says, then I would not do it. If my parents would not be happy about the decision I made then it would be the wrong decision. My parents are pretty fair about rules and what is right and wrong. I have not really thought about re-writing the rules of right and wrong. I personally do no see anything wrong with the rules and I feel like other people are just over reacting when they get in trouble about some things. One thing I do wish that was different is that I wish there was a giant list that had every wrong thing written down so that everyone would know it was wrong. There have been several times when I have gotten in trouble for doing something that I did not know was wrong. It has varied from doing the wrong thing in sports, to doing the chores the wrong way. Its like when a small child would get in trouble for saying something bad that they did not know was wrong because they were simply repeating what someone else had said. One of the biggest ways that people learn is by repeating and mimicking what someone else does. So if every wrong thing was written down, then there I think that there would be a lot less wrong doing. However there are some people that try to do the wrong thing on purpose and I wish I could change the rules about that. I think that if there were harsher punishments for doing wrong there would be less trouble makers in the world. If there was a more difficult punishment then people would not try to get in trouble as much.
