Right thing to do

• Why do we all follow traffic rules ? Because rules are meant to be followed. In a way they are in place to avoid accidents and save lives. And setting up a system that saves lives is a 'right' thing ?
• Why do we have democracy? Because it is the most just way of governance? Even though the majority might be foolish, the wish of the fools should be granted ? Over time, from chosing the right person, we have come to define it as chosing the less wrong person!
• Why do we dress in a particular manner? Somebody's defined some way to be the right way and we all follow it. And in dressing there's a rule for eveything - on what trouser goes with what shirt, what tie , socks colour , shoes etc etc. There's an overall harmony in dressing .. And who defined the sense of harmony?
• Why do we have social institutions? Of marriage ? Of religion? They all in a way tell you what the right thing to do is!
• Even the laws are defined to protect the right!

But in cases where the right and the wrong do not have specific boundaries who does our system chose? It's always the richer and the more powerful :

• Between peoples who would be displaced by the construction of a mega dam and the rich who would be benifitted by the dam - the rich always win!
• Between countries who pollute the air the most and others who want to make a change by taking small steps in reducing these emissions, the richer country always prevails upon the rest of the world because they canot compromise on their lifestyle!
• When was the last time an erring politician in Inidia was punished?

Are there any direct solutions to these issues?
