Our Universe, right or wrong.

If you take one step back from your human perspective, to try and see a truth greater than ours, which statement do you feel does most apply to the Universe, and all that is in it?

I find great fault with this poll, there is one necessary option missing from it:
That "right" and "wrong" are subjective terms that exist independent of the universe as a whole. One might say that, feeling this way, I should vote for the yin/yang option, but that still implies that Right and Wrong exist.
They don't, beyond a personal philosophical scope.

I get the feeling that there is something not right, somewhere.

This is my point. He asks us to look beyond our human perspective and decide if the universe is right or wrong. Yet human perspective is where right and wrong exist.

There is nothing ultimately right or wrong about the universe itself. However, I believe that identifying with our physical reality is erroneous, and that we often go wrong in forgetting that we are spirit, not body.

Thats not a fault, its deliberately baked into the pie  If it doesnt exist beyond the personal philosophical scope, it will be either of the three extremes. (100% 50% 0%) Thanks for clarifying your stance, but its intended to be like this ^_^

Yeah, right and wrong is a human perception. Take away human perception and you don't even have a poll, or at least not one that's answerable.

Cuz, like, the Universe is just life. Life doesn't judge, life just is. So it's an easy way out to say well because of that Right and Wrong are in balance in the universe. But no...even if all of life is in balance, it still doesn't necessarily mean that Right and Wrong exist.

There is no "right" and "wrong", aside from our Human existence.
All is "well" in the Cosmos - all is as it "should" be....because this is the only way it can be.

*Right* and *wrong* only deal with human morals, not the ultimate plan of existance.

Why does it have to be right or wrong? That really doesn't mean anything. It is what it is.

I don't think it matters how it "should" be. Who is to determine how the events of this universe should unfold? To me, the universe is how it is right now, and that is neither good nor bad, it just is.
Also, how are we to determine whether our universe is right or wrong, when all we have is a limited knowledge of our own world, and a miniscule knowledge about anything beyond our world?
