Right or Wrong?

I often wondered whether people can tell right from wrong. As children, we were taught by parents and teachers that some things that we do/say are right [and we might be rewarded for them], while other things that we do/say are wrong [and we might be punished for them].

Yet as adults, I see people make mistakes and do wrong things countless times. As adults, do we still consider whether our actions are right or wrong? Do we think about this before we do something? Or are we living in a society where 'make mistake now and apologize later' is accepted?

I wonder whether people enjoy getting caught. Is this their way of getting attention? Why do thieves steal and liars lie again and again - is it for the thrill of getting away with it? Or is it for the trill of getting caught? Or both? Perhaps it's because they don't know any better - they are simply stupid.

There are various categories of people who do wrong. Some do it, knowing that it's wrong and either want to get away with it or be caught. Others do it because they don't know that it's wrong and it's something to do to occupy the time.

In any case, I wonder where were these people when they were young and their parents and teachers taught right from wrong? Were they absent from school that day? Were their parents also absent? Perhaps this explains a lot.
