How can the universe be wrong?

You hear a lot of criticism - this is wrong, that is wrong - really what is wrong and what is right dominates our speech and our thought.

Yet all that happens is the universe's doing. Call something wrong, and do not be mistaken - it is the universe you censure.

And if you find something correct, you are giving your endorsement to the universe that created you. You, a product of the universe, and one who cannot step outside and judge, are this day saying that the universe has done a fine thing, in your opinion.

Well I'm sure the universe is gladdened by your approval.

Moral outrage is valid

Moral outrage is a perfectly valid emotion for you, but don’t expect everyone to share it. To say that everyone finds something reprehensible in murder is to claim that all people must like the taste of coffee.

Crisis at the loss of morality

When people lose their sense of good and bad they undergo a crisis. But they act the same way regardless. It has been said that with God dead then everything is permitted, even murder. Only the murderer would argue to themselves this way. The next person would say, ‘yes, everything is permitted’ but I still have no desire to kill therefore I won’t.
