Do Right and Wrong Actually Exist?

Even people who disagree about religion usually share a strong sense that some things are genuinely wrong.

Cruelty.
Betrayal.
Abuse of power.
Injustice.

These reactions appear across cultures and throughout history.

Most people do not respond to these things by saying,
“That is simply my personal preference.”

They respond as if something real has been violated.

This raises an important question:

Are right and wrong simply human opinions?

Or do they reflect something deeper about reality itself?

How we answer that question determines whether justice, guilt, and moral responsibility are real—or only social conventions.
