“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Do you agree?
This line was written by Shakespeare, but it fits nicely into modern relativistic and post-modern outlooks. What sense do you think it has? Does it still apply?

Genius line that, didn’t realise moral relativism was a considered idea in Shakespeares time.
Definitely agree with him, from both a personal perspective and from an observation of society’s changing attitudes over time.
The only things you might argue are absolutes are things like murder, but given that wards continue all the time, then you need to forget the obfuscating justifications given for it each and every time, and see that the action proves the law is not absolute.
