Hi, olddude -
I think that the real right and wrong is beyond law. Law can sometimes be an accurate description of what's right, but that depends on whether the lawgiver has a correct sense of right and wrong. Too often, our lawgivers are interested in their own benefit, not in the common good.
It's not what we're taught, either. You've Got To Be Carefully Taught is one of the least-known songs from the musical South Pacific, but Oscar Hammerstein II did a wonderful job of crafting the lyrics - telling how children have to be taught to be bigoted.
But I think we all have an innate sense of what's right or wrong. Some call it conscience, but I think it's mostly common sense. If your vision is broad enough, you can see that what's right is what's best for everyone, not just for yourself.
