Dear Geoffrey,

All life, no matter the intelligence level, form, or level of consciousness, will always have feelings of enjoyment/ non-enjoyment. (Without feelings of enjoyment/ non-enjoyment, life would not have the motivation to twitch a finger. Feelings are the fuel for all life including animals.) These feelings are what define right and wrong. A righteous act is one that causes enjoyment. A wrongful act is one that causes non-enjoyment. My point is that since feelings exist (and will always exists as long as life exists), right and wrong DO exist. Thus, the subjective view is wrong.

Thank you so much for responding. You are the first individual to respond to my random emailing. It is so very relieving that I found someone who understands what I am talking about. My family rejects my realizations. They just don't see what I see.

I am e-mailing my essay to as many philosophers as I can in hopes of spreading its contents. You may be surprised by this, but I have never read one philosophy teaching (such as Socrates' doctrine). I am a natural philosopher, and all of my essay's contents are from my own thinking. And yes I am 17, but no, I am not 17.

Your fellow thinker,

Richard

P.S. The attachment is just a picture of me and my grandma Grace
