What is right?

"What is right?" means figuring out what makes something fair or good for everyone involved.

Imagine you and your best friend are sharing a bag of candy. You both want to take turns picking the pieces, but you don’t agree on who goes first. If one of you takes all the biggest candies without letting the other pick, that doesn't feel fair, it feels like someone is being unkind.

But if you decide to flip a coin to see who starts, and both of you get to take turns picking, then it feels fair, and that’s what we call right. It's like when you share your toys with a friend, everyone gets to play and have fun.

Sometimes being right means doing the same thing as someone else. Like if two kids both want the red ball, and they take turns playing with it.

Other times, being right means treating others how you’d like to be treated, like sharing your biggest cookie if you’re really hungry but know your friend is even hungrier.

So "what is right?" is just asking: Does everyone feel fair and happy?
