I've posted like five times in one night, sorry about that, just getting a ton of info off of me.
I recently came upon an idea that humans in general are wrong. We are wrong in every aspect possible, yet there is no way to prove it. We base our findings on 2 + 2 = 4. But, I can do something different. I can show you on how 2 + 2 = 8. I can change the formula, go by the lines outside of the box. Humans say that they are right when they find something, but then there is a person who can easily correct you and say that you are wrong. What if they are wrong too? Then a time paradox exists where nobody can prove anybody else right. Humans need to be right, yet they are always wrong. Those who promote perfect pacifism, they are wrong. They are wrong in the fact that they think by taking away all weapons and evil tools that peace will come, however as long as humans exist, there will be no peace. I can't prove on how this is right, it's just an idea. It is an idea on how a person can think of something different and yet they are still wrong. What makes you right or wrong? Your ideas or sense of justice? If a person murders an entire town because the people have been plagued, is he right or wrong? Is he right because he is stopping the plague from spreading, so that he is saving the lives of others? Or is he wrong because he is killing innocent people? You can't prove either side, it's impossible so don't try. I pity those who think that they are right and others are wrong. They aren't right, and neither am I.

An idea is born into this world that is wrong. Is this idea true or not? This one needs to let his demons out.

Check out descartes. he proves that 2+2=1.
Why does there have to be a "right" or "wrong"? why cant we each come up with our own truths? if they believe that you are wrong, they may be right for all you know. Who are you to say they are wrong? The point is, why waste time trying to label others as right or wrong? Why not just decide for yourself and move on?

Descarte's proves 2+2=5. But it doesn't really matter because the answer to life the universe and everything is 42. Just ask google (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=answer+to+life+the+universe+and+everything&btnG=Google+Search) . I mean google is the new "god" anyways, how could it be wrong? Have a question about life, ask google! However, besides the sarcasm...
Fyodor Dostoevsky does a better job with 2+2 = 5. Where he basically says in Notes from Underground (in an almost scary ultra-individualist stance, that I don't really support) that he doesn't give a fuck what two and two equals as his individuality isn't governed by the principles of mathematics.
Think about it this way. Existence proceeds essence. Humans existed. And they they defined themselves and the world around them. This means that concepts such as "good", "bad", "justice" don't really exist outside of our own definitions. They have no outside essence that they are based on. Therefore, there is no "true" justice. Justice is what you make of it, and how humanity defines it. This doesn't mean that Justice doesn't exist... the concept Justice exists there just isn't any mathematical proof to show that this is just and this isn't just.
In fact trying to treat concepts such as justice and the world purpose like that is sort of a categorical error. It is akin to trying to measure the weight of the number two (since number two seems to be the theme here; why is it always the number two? poor three). We can construct thousands of logical theories to try to determine the number two’s true weight, but we will never find a true answer because the number two doesn’t have a true weight. The number two is weightless as the concept of weight does not apply to it. Similarly the concept of meaning does not apply to the world. The world is meaningless and any meaning we apply to it we construct ourselves.
This does not mean however, that we can not stop someone from murdering a town, we should do what we think is right, and if we think it is right to stop the man from murder that is fine. However, we can't judge him on "moral" grounds for being "right" or "wrong". There is a difference here between judgment... as he probably for whatever psychological reasons thought that what he was doing was actually right in some sense. This.. sort of scares people as well if there is no true right they think the world will result in anarchy. However, Sartre defends these and other claims in his paper "Existentialism"
