Right or Wrong

Last night I watched a CNN special coverage story called Lifting the Veil. They investigated today's living conditions of Afghan women. It was bleak. I was very distraught at the oppression women suffer under the tyranny of men. I wasn't angry, just deeply saddened about the little freedom a woman has in life. But was it injustice? Or is it part of the evolution as humans? As a race, humans are constantly paying for the actions of those who came before us. It seems we have little choice in changing that. Are those perceived as being the oppressor really any more evil than those being oppressed? What if the oppressor was honestly believing he is righteous in the eyes of his lord? Is he still evil? It's a sad condition to you and me because we think relative to us. I wonder if there is an absolute right and wrong. Can I really fault anyone for following what they believe is right? I don't conciously know an answer to this yet, but I'm constantly posing these types of questions to my internal wisdom, which I believe will eventually lead me to the answers I seek. When we quietly reflect on things and seek answers from within, our intuition works out the difference between right and wrong. All I can do as a human being is encourage others to seek out internal reflection and discourage social influence.
