Do you believe that your society's morals are correct, or do you see any of them as morally wrong?

I've been thinking a lot about the morals of my society lately, and I've come to the conclusion that there are a lot of things that are morally wrong. Things that I never really thought about, but now that I do, I see a lot of them as wrong. <br><br>One thing in particular is that in my world, there is no such thing as a "chosen one" type person. There's no messiahs, no saviors, and people that claim to be them are called "false messiahs" and ridiculed by everyone. People are told that this is the way of things, and that it's morally wrong to believe that you can be chosen for something like that. It's more that everyone has a purpose, and the purpose you were born with is your purpose. There's no "chosen ones", and it's considered a moral failing to believe in them, even if they're good for the society. <br><br>In my world, people are taught to have no empathy for things that happened before they were born. They will often say that "the people in charge of creating the society made the rules and it's up to us to follow them." I find this to be morally wrong. If the founders of your society were horrible people that did horrible things, it's not wrong to want to change those things. But people are told that it's wrong to even think about it, and that they should be grateful for the society that they live in. <br><br>I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I don't think that the morals of my world are correct, but it's not something that I can do anything about. It's not like I can just change the society. So instead, I try to live in a way that is right in my eyes, and I hope that one day I'll be able to live in a society where these things are seen for what they are, morally wrong. <br><br>But that got me thinking. Do you believe that the morals of your society are correct? Or do you see any of them as wrong?
