Ethics

What is right? Freak if I know. I can’t even define ‘red’ or ‘salt’ without using ‘reddish’ or ‘salty.’ But maybe that’s exactly it. Right isn’t something you get taught. It’s something you observe. You learn right from ostention,– which means “you learn through observing it, as in when you point and say ‘red’ to a small child”– not definition.

Any thoughts?
Any at all?
Is my audience even conscious?

Do they exist?
